After years of begging from community activists, the Common Council is finally considering broadcasting all of their meetings on public access television (pdf file).
THIS PROPOSAL NEEDS TO SUPPORT OF THE PUBLIC. Currently, Hat City Blog is the only form of media covering these meetings via videotape (the archive of the meetings will be available soon). We already have a channel on Comcast (Channel 24) that can be used for broadcasting of the meetings and it will not take much to make this happen.
PLEASE, come down to the Common Council meeting tonight at 7:30 and show your support for this important proposal. You have a right to know how your local government operates and what better way to know what's happening than to watch it all unfold on television.

Oh, I'm just shaking my head in disbelief. The editor of the News-Times met with the xenophobes who call themselves the United States Citizens for Immigration Law Enforcement.
My question is simple: why?
Why pander to the smallest percentage of the total population in Danbury. Readers of this blog are well aware of how this group has used the media to their own gain. Look at Paul Streitz; he couldn't get 100 people FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY to donate to his campaign when he ran for senate yet, the hate-mongers get a meeting with the editor of the News-Times like they're relevant in Danbury?
Nonsense.
Yes, the News-Times is not known for their great local reporting but catering to these morons is just nuts. In a later post, I'm going to write an open letter to Eric Conrad and offer my views on how the News-Times can do a better job in reporting the news (and it has nothing to do with a knee-jerk reactionary topic like immigration).
