Interesting articl about Open Town Meeting attendance. [View all]

" Technology has not been friendly to the Open Town Meeting format. Many citizens today prefer to watch meetings and gather information on their televisions or computers or smart phones. Then they want to vote on the matter at hand quickly.. They would be happy to do it from home. Many are willing to leave the more mundane and boring business for those able and wishing to actually spend hours in a school auditorium or gymnasium during their free time."
