Lower Saucon Township has joined the growing number of municipalities that include background information for Council agenda's on the township's website. Lehigh County, Allentown and Bethlehem have been doing this for some time. Northampton County and Bethlehem Township started making this information available within the last year. Easton posts unfinished business and bending legislation.
Priscilla deLeon spearheaded the effort in Lower Saucon. "I feel residents can only ask questions if provided with information," she said.

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.
This is great!! Now if more municipalities would do this maybe there would be more public involvement. You cant blame the residents for not getting involved when they finally do show up they have no idea whats being discussed or talked about.
ReplyDeleteway better than South Whitehall... their agendas and minutes obly show like 1 meeting, the second they have a meeting they remove the agenda and NEVER post the minutes online.... Hopefully newly elected DEMOCRAT commissioner Pinsley gets this rectified in January
