Seems to me that every person elected to a position ought to at least try to communicate via the web to those they represent.

When we were a smaller city, word spread easier. Heck, you would tell one person anything and shortly afterward, everyone would hear.

No so today with 8000 residents in Monroe. We rely on the newspaper and the web. But we don't hear enough.

I want to know where Jamie Pierce stands on the tax abatement issue, but I haven't had time to attend a school board meeting where I could ask him in person.

I want to know were Anna Hale stands on street repairs, but I haven't been able to attend a city meeting this summer.

I urge all elected officials, and appointed ones too (that means you too Bill Brock), to get a blog or post on a website! Talk to the people several times per month on the web. Its easy and fast communication.

Join us in the 21st century, get a voice on the web, so everyone can hear!
