The Way I See It!

Are These Examples of wasting taxpayer's money or is it just good communication?

Wisconsin, Blogging, Leadership

You make the call!  I think Mayor McCue and the Alderpersons in Cudahy as just too afraid and timid to blog with their names.  None of them want to put things in writing in the public eye!

If Mayor McCue is worried about commenting and blogging on taxpayer’s time, he can comment or blog from home.  After all, he is Mayor 24/7/365

Please do notice that last example!

So what do you think? 

Waste of time and money or better communication from actually communicating?
