A new Boston City Clerk with advanced knowledge of new technologies and software would make municipal government more open and information more accessible. For example:
The Diamante Stenograph machine on view at this hour
at
http://helix.cityofboston.gov/ramgen/broadcast/citycouncil.rm
records the full transcript of the public meeting of Boston City Council.
The machine stores a computer file of the full transcript of the public meeting but officials haven’t made this public record readily available yet.
Please share widely!
