We've had a lot of fun over the past couple of years at the expense of Woodford County and the ongoing attempt to provide an "online presence".
Our County government is a strange animal in that we have an elected board, elected officials, and "hired hands", each which essentially run their own "businesses". To get all of these folks to sign on to a common internet web page scheme is no small accomplishment; nor did this come without a considerable price tag.
We at "WoodfordTaxFacts" are free with our criticism of government. It is only right that we are free with our applauding efforts to enhance, what we feel is most important in representative governance, and that is, transparency and usefulness to "the folks".
Shortly, by visiting http://www.woodford-county.org you will be able to get County Board agendas, meeting minutes, Committee schedules, pay tax bills, and over the next year or so do much more.
This investment, both monetarily and in terms of "share of mind" on the part of your representatives, shows admirable vision on the part of your local governmental agencies.
Let's face it, if we want young people to take ownership of their local government, we need to reach them in the language they understand and use - and that language today is digital.
We encourage you to 'root on' this effort by your County Board, Elected Officials, Staff, and Administration. A few "atta boys" once in a while never hurt anyone and the cost for that is. . . well . . . nominal.
