Inside the Charter Review


Meeting Audio: This is from the Charter Review meeting on 8/27/09. The recording is only the first twenty minutes or so. The quality is NOT good. But, if you're interested, turn up the volume and pay attention. They start off, oddly enough, complaining that they were misrepresented by Bobo in a recent article. They go on to discuss PR, media, etc.. Later in the meeting, the part not recorded, they discussed details and changes to be made in the new charter. The most recent meeting minutes posted on the Town's website are over three months old. Does this look like transparency?
