City Administrator Scott Huizenga has created an online blog, entitled The West Wing, as an additional forum by which interested persons can access more information about the City and its services.
According to the web site, Huizenga says, “The blog will go beyond the news releases and general City information that we provide through the usual outlets. I hope to provide some insight into specific City policies and legislation. Occasionally, I will address state and federal polices as they relate to local government. I also hope to chime in occasionally about general trends and news in municipal government and the field of public administration.” The first post on the blog addresses the 2011 Proposed Budget. The blog can be found at http://egfwestwing.areavoices.com.
This is the latest in a series of new web outlets that City has offered since the launch of the City’s new web site in January. Fans can also follow the City through Facebook and Twitter. Coming soon, the City will release a quarterly newsletter entitled "The Release From the East".
