The whites of your eyes

One of the suggestions I make in the ebook “Why Your City Council Makes Dumb Mistakes and What You Can Do About It” is for citizens to attend one meeting a year to watch-listen-learn. I also note that everyone does a little better job doing anything if they have someone watching them.I am not alone in that thinking.

I found this blog encouraging citizens to attend meeting …

Even if you don’t have anything to say, attending these meetings lets the City Council, LAPD, and city departments know that these issues are important to a broad group of LA citizens.

I agree whole heartily.

There is nothing like the whites of yours eyes at meetings showing local elected officials you are watching. Many times you need not say a word … just be there.

If you haven’t downloaded “Why Your City Counicl Makes Dumb Decisions and What You Can Do About It” … you should. It explains it all.
