Publice Meeting...er...Maybe....Maybe Not

The folks of Moultonboro were a bit surprised today to learn that there was no Board of Selectmen workshop as has been scheduled. Many people came and left Town Hall only to learn that the BoS were in non public session. One can only assume that it had to do with the interviewing of the new Town Planner. But, that's besides the point. Where was the 24 hour notice that the meeting was changed? Not on the bulletin board in the Town Hall, not on the town webpage. So, just where was it?? Even the secretary in the Administration office did not know if there was going to be a public session or not. Talk about a lack of communication.

One of the nicest things about having a new town webpage is the ability to let the public know if there is a change or cancellation of any meetings. Of course, that would mean that someone would acutally have to write the notice and publish it. Come on now. This is not difficult and it's not too much to ask for. It's doing a real public service! That is, of course, if the Town cares about providing real public service to the very public that they were elected to represent!

Oh, and by the way, the law requires that they provide 24 hours notice for public meetings. Comments anyone???
