Oriental North Carolina Public Records

Last week Mayor Sage advised citizens that the "best, most efficient and quickest way for anyone to obtain public information or documents" is to visit the Town's web site.

Maybe.

I have visited the web site frequently in recent months. I looked again today. There are no minutes of Town Board meetings since last November. Minutes are adopted by the Town Board at every monthly meeting, most recently at the meeting of April 2 for minutes of March meetings.

December, January, February and March minutes are not posted on the Town's web site.

And that's not all.

Minutes for 2010 are in a bad way.

Some minutes refer to closed session minutes for which there appear to be no corresponding open session minutes.

What else? I have just begun to look.

I'm sure it's just an oversight.
