Port: Minot’s city manager wants to block access to public employee personnel files

Government transparency in Minot looks to again be on the agenda. Harold Stewart, the City Manager, wants to keep personnel records under wraps — that’s the message he delivered at a City Council meeting on the upcoming legislative session late last year. And that’s an issue that has caught the interest of columnist Rob Port. Mr. Port has a history with the issue in Minot, and he shares his thoughts on the matter in this commentary he writes at Informum.com. It’s well worth the read.
