We are requesting that the Taylor County Commission broadcast their meetings via livestream.

Livestreaming Taylor County Commission meetings offers citizens a greater opportunity to become involved and informed. By livestreaming, governments are demonstrating transparency and accountability; it also provides real-time and accurate information to citizens quickly and efficiently. 

While constituents may want to attend every meeting, the reality is that they can’t always be physically present. Many counties have been livestreaming meetings since 2014.

What Governments Are Saying About Live Video:

“Livestreaming board meetings is an efficient and inclusive way to encourage more citizen involvement in the county government process.” – John Barkley, County Administrator, Greene County, VA

“2.9b people are online. If you can’t use video to get to them, you’re irrelevant.” – Dana Berchman, Chief Digital Officer of Gilbert, AZ

This petition is to support the implementation of Livestreaming Taylor County Commission meetings.
