D.A. investigates Brown Act violations - Los Angeles Times: "Dozens of local government agencies across Los Angeles County have silenced critics at public meetings, held secret conferences to hash out important business or taken other actions that violated the state's open meetings law, according to a Times review of the district attorney's records."

Hard to see why the industry doesn't want HOAs and condo associations to be held to public standards, if the public agencies are behaving like this. What's the difference?

The issue is these entities are required by statute to conduct business transparently and in the sunlight. By contrast, HOAs are *private* local governments and thus can do business in private.
Yes, there are statutes that require open meetings and records for HOA members but these require *private* enforcement (after all it's *private* government) without assistance from local DAs and state attorneys general.
