We’re recording the town meeting this evening since there’s nothing like hearing the commissioners in their own words as they vote on the people’s business. Over the next few days we’ll convert some out-takes from this meeting to streaming audio so you may hear some interesting discussions. Being able to hear the commissioners in their own words is a powerful way for stakeholders to stay informed and form opinions.
Purpose
Originally concentrating on saving some Public Open Space Elkton proposed selling to a developer, we expanded the blog's focus once the Mayor and Commissioners abandoned the attempt. During the nearly year-long process, Someone Noticed found that many important subjects at town meetings weren’t being covered by the media and we also established a regular readership. In consideration of all these elements, we are now focusing more broadly on the “411 on the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton” and subjects of broad civic interest to the Greater Elkton Community, especially when it isn't covered by other media. (see about section for more details.)Recent Comments
