[Vision2020] Moscow's Elected Officials and Commitment

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings all -

Rumor (from a reliable source) has it that Councilman Walter Steed could not participate in last night's city council session as he was away on vacation in Europe.

Elected city officials (regardless of which side of the political aisle) should be held into account for failing to fulfill their municipal obligations. Anything short of that merely encourages a lack of responsibility.

I suggest that the city, for the sake of its citizens, maintain a record of absences (accompanied with reasons for each absence) as a matter of public record, and be made publicly accessible when each elected official is up for reelection.

It's only right!

Seeya round town, Moscow.
