Fielkow addresses constituent questions during live chat on Fielkow.net
October 7, 2010 – New Orleans, LA – Councilmember Arnie Fielkow hosted his second virtual town hall meeting this morning before the City Council meeting commenced. The live chat, which can be accessed on his personal website, www.fielkow.net, is another conduit by which he can reach out to constituents and answer their questions in real time.
Today’s town hall addressed the topic: ‘NORD reform passed. Now what?’ Councilman Fielkow answered questions about the make-up of the new Commission and how the Commission will be seated. He also fielded questions about what can be done now to improve playground lighting and safety, among other topics.
The next town hall will take place in December and will focus on the 2011 budget, which must be passed on or before December 1st, 2010. Log onto www.fielkow.net for regular updates.
“Virtual town halls are a great integration of technology and government. While the live streaming of public meetings on the public access TV station reaches those constituents that are unable to attend the meetings, the virtual town hall allows these individuals to engage and ask questions. This live chat is just the beginning of what I am sure will evolve into an even more robust and seamless integration of technology and City Council,” said Council President Fielkow.
