Open Government Ordinance Back on Council Agenda

Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 4/21/08 @ 7:57 pm - Filed Under Featured, Local Politics

After a two-week hold, councilman Mitch Harper’s open government ordinance has resurfaced on the city council agenda. Readers will remember that two weeks ago the council voted 7-2 to hold the ordinance in order to give council attorney Joe Bonahoom time to review the language.

The ordinance would force all meeting notices to be placed on the city website and would also create an entirely new section of the city code entitled “Open Government”.

    My hope is two or three egos get checked at the door. All of them can drop the power plays and just get the work of the people done.

    While their sideshow makes for some laughs it is not doing us taxpayers a great deal of good.
