Coastsider taped Tuesday's Half Moon Bay City Council meeting. It was election night, and the only substantive issue on the agenda was pretty important: campaign finance reform in city elections.

- Discussion of proposed revision to campaign financing ordinance. The council is considering aggregating contributions for all the companies a person owns, and limiting that number to twice the limit for individuals. Discussion was continued until the first meeting of December, but the council seems to want to finish this project this year.[ Quicktime | WMP ]

Barry,
This is a very good thing that you are doing here. I, for one, really appreciate it. Not only are you taping the meetings, your breakdown into segments, and the options of QuickTime or Windows format increases accessibility and encourages viewers. It’s this sort of work that needs to be recognized and encouraged, as it only benefits access to public meetings that influence our lives.
Educating the public is a great service. Regardless of any one individual’s views on any one individual topic, your efforts help give actual visual data that we all need to be more informed to support those views. In addition, the ability to archive these electronically creates a versatile library that offers the opportunity to keep on giving. Thank you for the effort it takes, and the job well done in providing these videos.
