Ignoring Public Appearances
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
Rules for “Public Appearances” at local government meetings are different all over.
One thing that never changes is the “public” is invited to speak … then for the most part are ignored.
Here is one man’s story from Vancouver…
Surely the most bizarre  exchange had to have been with Cllr Stevenson who stated that there were no inefficiencies in the city so no savings could be made there–this after City Council spent tens of thousands of dollars on a Core Services review to find inefficiencies and duplications. If there are no inefficiencies does Cllr Stevenson think this was tax dollars well spent?
The next Government Meetings Class will include time to practice nodding your head in agreement with citizen speakers …Â when you really don’t.
