There's a great article over at Raise the Hammer by Larry Pattison, 'Stadium Committee Needs to Engage Community'. Referenced in it is a Spec editorial by Lee Prokaska, 'Right to know is paramount'. In it, as well as in Larry's editorial, you'll find a lot of themes common to the 'citizen engagement' thrust found here on My Stoney Creek, such as this gem:
"Openness, transparency, accountability - this is what citizens crave. We don't want less information, we want more. We don't elect representatives so they can behave like sheep. We elect them to represent our interests and fight for what is important to us. Otherwise, what's the point?"
Always nice to know that we're not a lone voice in the wilderness, huh?

I'm always interested in feedback, differing opinions, even contrarian blasts...as long as they're delivered with decorum...with panache and flair always helping.
