Public Notice

Now that the Common Council has given itself permission to sneak things on to the agenda by waiting until after it's been published and distributed, wouldn't it be a good idea for the city to decide that it will make an extra effort to get the word out when new items are added?

Given Internet technology, how hard would that be? Here are my suggestions:

1. Dedicate a section of the city's homepage to highlighting late additions to the Council agenda.
2. Set up an e-mail notification list so that anyone who wants to be notified can be notified.
3. Commit to sending new items to local Web sites that follow Oshkosh government, including this one, the Oshblog, the Northwestern, Eye on Oshkosh, My Two Cents, etc.

Too good an idea for this council. ALL they are good at is musical chairs and the "shell" game.
Now we can watch Mr Bain 'hone' his skills to be the next mayor
