So the town contributes to the operation of Open Stage Media and they are to post the TB meeting videos.  
The most recent meeting video available online is June 12, 2013.
What's with that?  Doesn't the Board want the residents to know what's going on?  Good question, huh???

On a separate note, can we get all the sticky's off this thread? Made it difficult to find this discussion.

With that said, this administration has set a new bar for doing things behind closed doors. Too bad the Reps aren't really even trying this election.

I could do that but don't have the time to attend each meeting.  I like to catch up on the computer.  But it would be a hoot to see if the board members still make their "smirky" faces if they knew the camera was on them and not the speaker during privilege of the floor.
I guess the point I was trying to make was that it seems as though the videos of some meetings, not all, are held back from being offered on OSM's website.  Remember...one of their campaign promises...TRANSPARENCY !!!

And if you notice, the minutes posted on the towns website are much more similar to an agenda.  

No documentation of what people say at priviledge of the floor.





Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

Take a look at the websites for other towns and cities in the Capital Region.  They post the actual minutes of meeting of all their meetings.   Rotterdam can't get their act together to do this...it's all part of how the gumba gang operates.  Even the City of Schdy has the minutes posted.
It's not like we don't have full time employees in the Clerk's office....so let's get busy and get those minutes posted.

THe "town" contributes?   How about the taxpayers are forced to pay for it, forced to give that tax evader King Philip money for OSM via the town.

So since we pay for it, how about a contact with Greg Floyd on Ch 5, the "you paid for it" segment.   ???

And be sure to mention the lack of accuracy, the lack of completeness of the minutes of meetings.

And how about ALL the minutes of ALL meetings which means ALL committee, commission, advisory board meetings etc.   It is OUR money, those of us who write the check out to the town (or to the bank for escow)!!!!  Remember most of these other committees, there members get a stipend which is OUR money.

this is censorship. If Repubs did it then it would be on front page

Justin Mason is a flop. He rolls over for them and so do the editors
