Update on Local Government Websites
The information on local government websites posted on the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government website has been updated since a major review of all websites was completed in March. A few communities have contacted us with updated information or correct information about their websites.
The Town of Sudbury contacted us to tell us that they included the results of their last town meeting in the town's 2005 Annual Report which they posted online after our review had been completed. We added the new information, and Sudbury joined the list of municipalities that post all essential public records online. There are now 24 municipalities on the list of communities that post all essential public records online. I also note that Sudbury just posted its town meeting results for 2006.
We also heard from Newburyport, which posts public records on the Newburyport library website. Although there was a link for the library archives site on the Newburyport website, when we did our review, we somehow missed it. So, the information for Newburyport on the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government website has been changed as well.
Finally, someone from Richmond notified us that the town's by-laws are posted on the Building and Zoning Department's page, so we updated that information. I still do not know how we missed that one. It was reviewed at least two times.
Thank you to all to the people in those communities who contacted the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government with questions, concerns, and encouragement.
