Comment on In a hearing on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed a non-disclosure agreement? Officials refused to answer

I work in a government capacity in my country and I have a NDA in law form.

I can ask an applicant anything relevant to their application. Trade secret and all, and they MUST supply the answer. But I am obliged by law not to divulge anything that that could be sensitive for the company if it were to be know to the competition.

Anyone can make a complaint about my apartments handling and it would be investigated by one level up in the chain, but no one can let any trade secrets slip

This isn’t about trade secrets, this is about elected officials doing backroom deals with corporations that actively harm their constituents, and taking active measures to reduce transparency.
