Let freedom Zoom
Can you believe that governments aren’t required to record their public meetings and post them in an archive so anyone can view them? It seems like they have to, but they don’t. They have to keep “minutes”—and depending on the governing board those can be extremely detailed or not detailed at all. Basically, if you miss a meeting and want to know exactly what happened, who said what, and how an elected official responded, tough beans, if it isn’t recorded. Did you know that your comments can be muted from the record if the lawyer or mayor doesn’t like what you had to say?
