New Time To Catch Council On TV

If you're a dedicated follower of municipal politics, your Monday night schedule is going to change.

Common council has voted to start televising their meetings live rather as opposed to the 3 hour delay they currently have. Common Councillor Shirley McAlary says there are arguments for and against both options: although some people dislike staying up late to watch the meetings, others may find the new time conflicts with their supper.

In the end, all voted to try broadcasting the meetings live starting at 6pm instead of 9pm on Monday nights and see how it goes. That means the meetings will now have to start precisely on time, and any breaks will need to be scheduled. In two weeks, meetings will also switch to a biweekly schedule
