Heres’ something a little different being tried in Worchester, MA by blogger Chris Pearson.
Minute by minute Chris details what is happening with the council chambers.
7:09: It begins! It’s crowded and busy out in the hallway, and there’s a good-sized crowd in the seats
7:10: Eddy starts us off with a resolution to honoring judge, city councilor, and mayor Paul Mullaney for his commitment to the community, and his 90th birthday. ”It’s far too often that we don’t speak enough about the people who made this city what it is today,” says Eddy.
7:13: Mullaney speaks. “It gives me a great feeling for Thanksgiving and the holidays to follow.” He attributes his long life to never having a cigarette and adds “I never had a drink of alcohol–until I got to the city council.”
And on and on it goes throughout the entire meeting. Obviously if you know the characters it would make the blog more interesting.
Has anyone else tried this? Seen it attempted?
It sounds like a good discussion topic for the Government Meetings class.
