Broward commissioners tell Henry to come up with a plan for video-on-demand of meetings | Broward Bulldog

This is not 1960 and it's not like Broward County is attempting its own space program. We have the technology. The foot-dragging means that someone likes to hide government goings-on from the public. Our own Lake Worth provides on-demand video access to past Commission meetings, along with other board meetings happening in the Commission Chambers. Click title for link.
The Broward County Commission has directed the county administrator to prepare a cost analysis and implementation plan to create an on-line, video archive of commission meetings.
Commissioner Lois Wexler asked her fellow commissioners to act after County Administrator Bertha Henry failed to present her own plan, which Wexler asked for last month. Wexler originally asked Henry to study the issue on Oct. 8, with a Dec. 15 due date, records show.
Wexler doesn’t know why the county administrator did not follow through. “There may be an inherent resistance…to make this type of…meeting information immediately accessible to the public,” Wexler said in an interview Wednesday.
