Do you plan to attend the county council's budget meeting next Tuesday when department heads ask questions? 15% Yes, wouldn't miss this for the world. 43% No, why would I? 43% I'd like to, but I have to work at 8 a.m. Total responses: 47 Reader's comments:

I think this poll is a good yardstick for the mindset of our officials. It is apparent that a large number of people interested CANNOT attend. It is also apparent that the council has not heeded the request formore accommodating seating arrangements during their meeting for the benefit of the public. I once overheard a council member say to another, "Well,we can do anythingwewant". I believe it is their intention to keep as much of the public unaware as possible.
