First of all, i would like to remark that before this week, i never even realized that people could go to could attend board of supervisors meetings and i feel this is something that should be more widely advertised to residents of the city because certainly, i think i was in more active in local politics and i know there was a venue beyond simply emailing my supervisor or calling if i knew that i could actually attend meetings and make comments. I would have felt more emparamedic aempoweredas a citi. Also, the schedule on the website had a more of a time frame because, for example, there was a time that was noted when comments could be made where i could have tuned out and did Something Else and called back in or when the relevant discussions were.
