Metroland reports on Kyle’s See Through Bethlehem proposal, calling it a “progressive, modern approach to open government communication.”

Kotary’s See Through Bethlehem proposal:

“calls for integration of the Bethlehem town website with Twitter and Facebook and for all documents that would be publicly available under the Freedom of Information Law to be proactively made available through the town website….The proposal also calls for Bethlehem to upload video from all town board and committee meetings to YouTube and for the town to seek a means to broadcast the meetings live. By uploading town meetings to YouTube, Kotary hopes to give residents a faster alternative to Bethlehem’s current system, where meetings are recorded and archived with the help of the Bethlehem Public Library and later broadcast on public-access Channel 18.”
