You can then go back and see it in print and go back and be able to say, “hey, this wasn’t on the agenda according to the public notice published last week.” If you go back and look at the website, there really isn’t a good way of telling if that, in fact, was the agenda as it looked like the previous week." Ahm, can you tell us what you're talking about? Local government agendas are not published in the legal notices because they don't have to be. Some public hearings notices have to under state law, such as certain land use decisions, but the only posting requirement under state law is on a website and at specifically designated locations. Courts are now moving toward all electronic filing because pdf files can be secured. There's no reason why legal notices can't be done the same way. Ending the print requirement to spite the dead tree media is stupid but so is requiring dead tree printing of legal notices. Its a waste of taxpayer money and does not accomplish the ends of the requirement as effectively and efficiently as electronic posting. “Think about this for a minute: you find out that something was acted on at a town council meeting that wasn’t on a published agenda.
