Something you don't hear very often from me

[Dave's Not Here Man]

But I agree with the Governor.

The FCC excuse is a cop out. It's either a public hearing or it's not. It's not the job of the school board to prevent public exposure to people speaking at a public hearing, but having myself installed 1000 or so cameras around the DC area, including ones to specifically record or stream public hearings, board meetings, etc... you can position the camera/s where the speaker's face is not revealed. In the year of our lord 2024, you can turn cameras, microphones, lights, all on or off individually with an iPad.

Any comment you make in a public meeting becomes part of the public record. And while I can't recall since it was years ago, I believe I had to start my comment with my name and address to show that I lived in the county.

I don't support the camera being on the speaker's face necessarily, but 100% that comment should be on camera and recorded. And all comments should be limited to 3 minutes or less once you identify yourself. No need for one asshole to take the podium for 20 minutes to rant. Get your point across quickly.
