Starting this Thursday it's lights, a camera and action at New Bedford City Council meetings. According to New Bedford Neighborhood Watch, we'll be able to watch City Council meetings "Live" via their Facebook page.

In this day and age of technology, this is an absolutely fantabulous idea. Makes me wonder why other groups don't do the same? Honestly, I wish this was my idea!

Anyway, this Thursday June 27th, "Live" New Bedford City Council meetings. Not that they are not always, but now the Councilors will have to be on their toes. As you know, folks watching through Facebook can also comment on FB.

Imagine the sights from a "Live" New Bedford School Committee meeting. Nobody nods off on that stage.

What an excellent way to gain a better understanding of how city politics work.
