Comments for Penny for Chapel Hill Town Council http://pennyforchapelhill.com Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:57:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 Comment on Ban Hand Held Cell Phones by Terry MAGUIRE http://pennyforchapelhill.com/2010/01/26/ban-hand-held-cell-phones/comment-page-1/#comment-56 Terry MAGUIRE Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:57:55 +0000 http://pennyforchapelhill.com/?p=216#comment-56 The Chapel Hill News editorial today - http://www.chapelhillnews.com/opinion/story/54927.html - makes a very strong case for the adoption of a legal prohibition on using cellphones while driving a motor vehicle. Whether that is achieavble or not may depend on issues of jurisdiction and other possible complications. Short of that, why not ask the Town Council to adopt a "policy" that in the Town of Chapel Hill no one should drive a motor vehicle and use a cellphone of any kind? That would put "us" on record, and we can either then move to convince our fellow citizens that this is the policy they should follow, or, if unsuccessful, move toward a law to achieve the same result.

The only change I'd make it is calling it "In Offensive of Public Owned Elections" (not really b/c that's silly title for an article), but my point being is that this system is something more communities should be advocating for, rather than less corruption in government & a more open government being something that needs "defending" Great points about the virtues of Voter Owned Elections.
