Not ready for prime time?

While channel-surfing the other night I ran across one of those ad nauseum rebroadcasts of a Monroe City Council meeting. Like, one or two or those are enough but, man, it seems they're on all the time. If you're really hooked on city council (or just on it), it could be entertaining. But they should do something to jazz it up. Maybe have themed clothing night -- every member of council has to wear a funny hat, or flannel pajamas (with feet in them) or see how many motions they can sponsor (the winners gets a cash award for his or her favorite charity). It will increase viewership, I'm sure, and will take away from the frustrating, garbled sound that is supposed to be the audio. I gotta hand it to the city though -- at least they're televising this stuff to try to give constituents the unvarnished truth (or what passes for unvarnished truth). Maybe the county board should start televising their meetings.
On second thought, they probably figure the broadcast couldn't compete with that other show that's been fairly popular: JACKASS.

I don't think the meetings should be run every day. Run them once a day or even three times a week. Otherwise the nuts that get up and speak at the City meetings, just so they can see themselves on TV, will get up and speak at County meetings. It is entertaining at times to say the least.
