Post ALL Town Council Meeting Materials Online

Bristol residents should have greater access to the information shaping the policies where we live, work, and raise our families. A professional, service-oriented and transparent Town Clerk’s office would ensure that residents are better informed about the day-to-day business of our town’s government.

To increase access, I propose making ALL Town Council meeting materials available online. Currently, only the agendas and minutes are posted to the town website. If an individual wants to take an in-depth look at any issue on the agenda prior to meetings, they must request to see supporting documentation in-person at Town Hall.

By making all meeting materials easily accessible on the internet, residents will have the facts on important town business at their fingertips — anywhere, anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If elected, I will ensure more convenient access to this information to make our Town government more open.
