Email dispatch from City Hall, one I think we can all agree on.
COME SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
| On Monday, November 1, 2010, at 5 p.m., the City Council’s Judiciary and Legislative Investigations Committee will hold a hearing to explore the possibility of broadcasting proceedings from the Liquor Board, Board of Municipal Zoning Appeals and Board of Estimates, which represent three of the city’s most influential decision-making bodies. |  |
Most citizens are kept in the dark about decisions made by these powerful boards – which rule on everything from zoning changes to the awarding of multi-million dollar construction contracts – because they are not currently televised, and the meetings often take place during the day when people are at work.
City Council President Bernard C. “Jack” Young introduced the Transparency and Accountability Bill (TAB) on September 20, 2010, to determine the feasibility of televising these important proceedings. The hearing is open to the public and will be broadcast on TV25.
Location: Du Burns Council Chamber, 4th Floor, City Hall
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Date: Monday, Nov. 1, 2010

Does this mean Chairman of the Board of Liquor License Commissioners Stephan Fogleman will start wearing makeup during hearings? Please say yes!
Maybe, maybe not, but he’s on our Movember team so he’ll definitely have a moustache!
Guess this means I’ve got to stop eating those giant bowls of chocolate pudding at the hearings.
aaaahahahahahaha
