Attention Alfred Voters!!! You Have A Chance To Make A Change To Our Town Meetings!!
Description
Sue Mesick and Elissa Brewster are Alfred residents who are stepping up to advocate for greater transparency and public access to local government. Their efforts center around a November 3, 2026 municipal referendum that would require recordings of key town meetings and public hearings to be archived and made available for residents to watch live or on demand.
From town meetings to Planning Board and Select Board discussions, their goal is to make it easier for Alfred residents to stay informed about the decisions that affect their community, even when they can't attend in person.
On this episode of the 207 Collective Podcast, we'll talk about local government, community involvement, and why transparency and public access matter in a town like Alfred. The 207 Collective Is Available on all major listening platforms and is recorded in Alfred Maine.
