First you have to understand that you are dealing with a government entity and hence a government worker. In my experience these people know they have their jobs forever no matter how well they do it. They know they don't have to be effective, productive, or profitable. At the end of the day they will do the least amount of work possible while keeping their job.

Now be fair, not all government workers think or act this way, but a lot of them do because they know they can. It sounds like you are dealing with one of those people here. Personally I like the statement earlier about saying if content is not provided by a certain date the contract is considered fulfilled and payment is due in full.

I would go into the meeting and politely, but firmly tell them you were hired to code and develop a site not write content. Tell them you have been more then patient, but all bargains involve to willing parties and right now they are not doing their part.
