Allentown Considering Webcasts

Allentown City Council member Michael Donovan reports that tonight, City Council took a step in the direction of greater transparency.

"Allentown council approved a resolution that will begin the process of researching options for broadcasting our meetings. We would like to open up the chamber to other public and non-profit entities that could use our "Government Access Channel" that is available through the cable companies.

"We will approach webcasting first, but are looking at other options, too.

"We have some enthusiastic volunteers who are helping us research costs and options. They felt having a resolution would help in showing support to the community."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
