Franklin Board of Aldermen April Meeting Live Webcast at 7pm

Here is the show player and social stream for the meeting tonight. I plan on beginning to stream shortly before 7PM tonight:

I missed covering the Feb 15th meeting because I didn't know about it, and missed the March meeting because the Macon County Commissioners changed their meeting time last month and that meeting conflicted with the Town meeting. I went with covering the Commissioners meeting on the theory that it affected more people than the town meeting. I missed an important Aldermen meeting. Hopefully, that won't be happening again.


The plan is to be there at 7PM tonight and webcast the meeting live and tweet the main points. Feel free to interact with me via twitter during the meeting using the hashtag #maconnc.
