The meeting consisted of a process where community representatives could speak for or against the hotel ('for' were granted 5 speakers, 'against' only 3)but then they adjourned to another room to 'make the decision' and no journalists, citizen or otherwise were allowed into see that charade.

Well done. It's good to know the event was documented from a perspective other than what one reads in the official media.

In a somewhat related note, the following is a link to a story that appeared in the TT recently regarding citizen journalists demanding more rights to participate in political processes. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2012/12/26/2003551026
