Dear Editor:
Why are Town Council meetings not on Zoom? They used to be on Zoom back when COVID was infecting more people.
Having Town Council meetings on Zoom would make them more accessible to residents. Not explaining why Zoom has been discontinued would be wrong.
Town Council members have repeatedly stated that “transparency” is one of their goals. Failing to explain why Town Council members have discontinued Zoom access is being the opposite of transparent.
I especially direct my question to Council members Bagolie, Klein, and Meinhardt, who won elections to the Council this past November. During the League of Women Voters’ debate last fall between candidates for the Council, these Council members supported Zoom access for Council meetings. Am I not remembering correctly what went on in that debate? That debate, itself, was on Zoom.
I am asking with this letter that Town Council meetings be put back on Zoom.
