What is with this vote by Conway, Faticanti, and Mayor Caulfield against expanding the cable access broadcast of School Committee meetings to its subcommitte meetings?
I mean, Conway and Faticanti are lost causes as far as I’m concerned, but I thought Mayor Bud “Unity” Caulfield would have seen a $2000 investment in transparency and access a small price to pay for our local democracy.
This was a total no brainer. Apparently, when I said yesterday that “Unity” Caulfield lacks vision, I didn’t go quite far enough…
Oh yes, I see a tone of derision is going to be a common theme in the blog for the next two years…I was so hoping it wouldn’t be this way. I really do hate it. But I sure as hell ain’t going to shy away from it. Let’s hope things get better, shall we? I’d love to go back to complimenting people for a job well done.

The School Department receives a substantial amount of money from the Comcast franchise fee; in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, that is suppose to be used towards “local access programming.” So these three could not find the $2,000 to educate and inform the tax payer and bring more transparency and accountability to the process.

One definition of transparencyis that it is something that can be seen right through - so all of the recent events do mignt mean that Mr. Caulfield is transparent whether he knows it or not:)
