It’s refreshing and it makes sense for municipal governance to be wanna’ be transparent with its constituency.

And Middletown Borough has decided to wanna’ – according to this PennLive article.

“Middletown’s new website should go live on Tuesday, offering the public more complete and up to date borough information.

“The new site will offer recent meeting minutes, including borough documents, and will even show voting records of council members.

“The public can find out what building permits are needed for, how to leave an anonymous tip for police, and what tax rates in the borough are.

“‘The biggest thing we looked to do was to make the site easier to navigate, easier to find the information on the site,’ said Chris Courogen, borough spokesman, who said he built the new site.”

Middletown’s Police Department releases its Daily Calls Log, too.
