Saco group thanks members of council
Congratulations to those members of the Saco City Council who opened up the process for the citizens of Saco to be heard at public meetings. Once somber council chambers are now experiencing meaningful public comment on matters before the council.
This is a notable beginning of what seemingly was a closed session to the public whose limited role was to sit, listen and attempt to follow muted council proceedings. Though public hearings being the exception, public input was limited to pro or con statements, not to ask questions or obtain answers. Yes, a remarkable change is evident. Nowhere evident are those of us “mentally unstable” citizens making disruptive uninformed comment, as referred to by one councilman.
On behalf of the Saco Citizens for Sensible Government, we thank you for restoring our fundamental right to be heard.
Our mission is to advocate for meaningful change in our local government. The Saco Citizens for Sensible Government invite your thoughts and participation. We meet monthly at City Hall on the second Thursday at 7 p.m. We can be reached on Facebook at Saco Citizens for Sensible Government.
