Citizens’ group working for transparency in government
A group of Charlestown residents have formed a bipartisan citizens’ action committee called the Citizens for Better Government.
The group’s goal is to promote unity in the community by providing current and factual information about city government, according to its press release.
“CBG members feel there is a lack of transparency in the administration of the city’s affairs. In an effort to keep residents better informed, CBG will provide timely information about such issues as the dirty water, the Highview-Lakeview sewer project and use of the city’s financial resources,” the release said.
Citizen’s for Better Government will be funded entirely by voluntary contributions and it plans on offering an e-newsletter, developing a Web site and may purchase advertising to address the issues it considers important.
The groups officers are: Dan James, president; Irv Meurer, secretary; and Tudy Willeford, treasurer. More information is available by contacting CBG by e-mail at ctownfacts@gmail.com.
