Muzzle comes off at county meetings
Placeholder Image
Local residents don't have to wear a muzzle to Warren County Commission meetings.In a vote that shows commissioners do value feedback from their constituents, the County Commission unanimously passed a resolution Monday night to give folks a chance to speak at monthly meetings.The only hitch is residents have to jump through a few hoops before they are given the chance to walk to the podium. According to the resolution that was passed, residents must call the county executive's office or contact their commissioner in time to be added to the monthly docket. Since dockets are mailed 10 days in advance, they will need to call about 13 days before each monthly meeting.Another catch: A maximum of five residents will be given the opportunity to speak at each monthly meeting.
