I have been bothered often when finding that city council members (and others) use facebook to put info out there, and I refuse to use fbook on most days of the year, and who knows what fbook is doing with the feed/timeline or whatever they call it so I may miss what council person posted while I get distracted by the half-truth politic meme aunt B posted..
Am wanting to find some leverage to force gov stuff to be at least cross posted to a web site, even a wordpress.com or something with an rss so I can actually get notices about whats happening rather than reading later or hearing from someone about what happened (too late to add to discussions)
So, any court case stuff, I'd love to know more about. I thought of showing politicians how to cross post, or start a petition demanding easier access to info.. but I feel those would be feeble attempts to get nothing done compared to a court thing or some new fed regulation or something.
