BCWA Meetings to be Recorded, Aired by Mt. Hope Students

Some exciting news!

It has been arranged for students from to video-tape the monthly meetings at the as a public service project. Taping will hopefully commence on the March 14th meeting. I have been working with Brian LaTessa on the project with input from Councilman Teixiera and Director Demelo. I have also spoken with Jesse Dufault at Full Channel who has volunteered equipment and assistance.

This will go a long way in improving transparency issues by giving the ratepayers the opportunity to actually view the meetings. Not to mention the invaluable experience that the students will acquire while performing this public service for their community!

I met with Ms. Marchand today to let her know about the project.  I mentioned to her that Mr. Klepper had told me in January that anyone is welcome to come in and tape the meetings and that was what prompted me to start working on this project. Ms. Marchand told me that she would have to check with the attorney to see if there is anything that would prevent the tapes from being aired on Public Service Television and that she would get back to me tomorrow.

Both Cox Cable and Full Channel would air the meetings on a regular basis.
