On the Town Council agenda for 2/5/2024
Resolution #2024-03 – The Re-adoption of the Amended Election Campaign Videos Policy’
I had asked about this policy at the 3/6/2023 Town Council meeting. In my opinion the policy is restrictive and favors incumbent since candidate campaign videos for local office can only be aired for two week prior to an election I called it the ‘2 week rule’
At the 3/20/2023 Town Council meeting the council asked the Cable access Director to propose a changes to the Election Campaign Video Policy.
Chapter XVI-A-Election Campaign Video Policy adopted by Town Councilors Tom Dolan, John Farrell, Tom Freda, Joe Green and Jim Butler on 3/26/2012
Ten months later the Council is proposing minor amendments to the policy, but the ‘2 week rule’ remains. PDF’s of the original and amended policy are below
