Orono Struggles with Communication to Citizens Again

On Thursday 1/18/24, the City of Orono sent out a notice for this Monday’s City Council meeting. There was an attached two-page agenda. What wasn’t included was a link to the 200+ page packet on information that appeared separately on the City website.

Why isn’t Orono trying to help its citizens learn about city matters?

Is this another example of citizen suppression of information?

Over the past several years we’ve also noticed that the Park Commission meeting agendas are not emailed out to those that have signed up on the Orono website. Why? Again, is the City of Orono hiding something or not wanting its citizens to know what is being discussed?

Let’s hold the City of Orono accountable and make this last misstep a part of the public record. Please write to City Administrator Adam Edwards add links to the meeting packets in all communications going forward.
