eComments: A new feature on the Municipal website

A new feature has been launched on the municipal website. E-Comments are another way to communicate with commissioners prior to a commission meeting. The website, http://mtlebanon.org/index.aspx?NID=2151 allows for comments to be submitted up to 1:00 the day of the meeting. I had to register my email address along with a password.

This is what I saw on my screen after clicking on eComments:

       04-09-13 Commission Meeting

Date: April 9, 2013 at 8:00 pm.
Public Comments can be submitted online until April 9, 2013 at 7:00 pm.


Tell us what's on your mind. Your comments and information will become part of the official public record. If you do not want your personal information included in the official record, do not complete that field.

I am not sure if the deadline for comments is 1:00 or 7:00 since there is conflicting information. It will be interesting to see how Commissioner Linfante will handle the ecomments, since she will be presiding at tomorrow's meeting.

It would be nice to see this feature available for school board meetings. However, it would deny Elaine Cappucci the opportunity to ask for feedback, or invite you to attend meetings, and then chop off your head when you do. Come to think of it, that is a Linfante move too. 

Good luck, folks. I won't be attending tomorrow's meeting.

    All of this Obama health insurance cost chaos will just further feed the labor market chaos that is already starting as the darkening cloud of Obamacare approaches. Already employers are replacing full time employment with part time employment paying lower wages and no benefits. Already small businesses with less than 50 employees are freezing hiring, and those with just above 50 workers have begun layoffs. Moreover, under the Obamacare law, the employer mandate does not require employers to cover the family dependents of their workers.
    As NCPA President John Goodman points out in his health policy blog on March 25, almost half of Obamacare is paid for over the next decade by draining $716 billion out of Medicare. While Democrats have been so aggressive about accusing Republicans of wanting to slash Medicare, it is Obama and the Democrats who have actually done it.

    Unions beware!

    Not sure how this relates to EComments, unless the reader is mentioning this because of the two women Democrats presiding over the meetings.
    I wanted to add that when you register on the municipal website, you should get an email confirming your registration. I think there are still some bugs in the system, since I did not receive a confirmation the first time around.

    I don't think our local officials really want to hear what we think.

    If they did, they would have listened three years ago.
