If all goes as planned, citizens will have the chance to watch Council meetings online. If you’ve ever had to endure the HARD benches in Council Chambers, you’ll now be able to keep up with what is going on while sitting in a nice comfortable chair in your home or office. Kudos to staff for doing the research and the footwork to bring this service to citizens; this is a piece of an open and transparent government.
The cities of Virginia Beach and Portsmouth have their own systems for providing this service. Chesapeake, Newport News, and Hampton use Granicus – as do other city and county governments throughout the state including Alexandria, Fairfax, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, and Chesterfield. We’re in good company.

Council to go live? Well that's certainly a change. Most people think they'e dead from the neck up.
You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone". "Suffolk City Hall"
Who cares? I can't even get a broadband connection to watch any way and the suffering of watching my money go down the drain is even more than I can take anyway!
