JANESVILLE
A Rock County Board member says he wants to attend meetings of a subcommittee vetting candidates seeking to fill an open supervisor seat. But even if he finds out when the committee meets, he said he has been told itâs unlikely either he or the general public will be allowed in the room.
Wayne Gustina, a county supervisor from Beloit, shares the concern of two advocates for open government that the process shouldnât be shielded from public scrutiny.
Gustina said he has asked but not yet learned from county administration officials, board chairman Rich Bostwick or the countyâs lawyer when a subcommittee assembled by Bostwick will interview the individuals vying to represent Janesvilleâs District 23.
