The Franklin Town Board of Aldermen met last night for their regular May 2015 meeting. Here is the video, public agenda and a copy of the agenda that is shared with the local media. Macon Media is making that public document available to the public in the interest of transparency. Among the items discussed was the 2015-2016 budget, the local media was given a paper copy and I digitized it last night so the public could read it as well.
CROWD FUNDING EFFORT
For the curious, this citizen journalist effort to accurately relay the meetings of the local governing bodies is currently being supported by a few dozen people who donate funds to keep this thing going, some of them do so on a regular basis online at Patreon. If you wish to learn more about helping out, please check out my Patreon Page. All I ask is a dollar a month. Any amount is appreciated. The more the people of Macon county give, the more meetings and events can be covered.
