Better publicity would increase public interest

To the editor:

Regarding the editorial, "Few take interest in city's financial plight": You hit the nail on the head. People believe the city council will do as it wants. People are not informed of the meetings by the city. I have asked for all public meetings be shown on Channel 5 the public-access channel.

The reply was, "The meetings by law are posted at the City Hall, and we do not need to go further to inform the public."

There is a public meeting on the TIF proposal tonight at the Osage Centre. I will be going to City Hall to see if it is posted. [Editor's note:The meeting has been postponed.]

People might go to more public meetings if they were informed of the time.
