Councilman Weiner wants to Make Video of All Public Council Meetings Available to the Citizens of New Castle County

The public has a right to both observe and determine if their elected officials are maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior and fiscal prudence.  It is now economically and practically feasible to broadcast County Council proceedings at a nominal cost due to advancements in modern technology.

Video access would strengthen the public’s awareness and engagement in local decision-making; thus promoting our county government’s transparency, efficiency, effectiveness and fiscal prudence.

This demonstration was paid for by Friends of Bob Weiner. Hopefully the rest of Council will support videorecording of all future meetings.
