Public comments on transparency of South River government, school district due Dec. 14

The South River Green Team Committee created the Transparency and Open Government Taskforce in October with the intent of examining whether the borough government and school district are open and transparent in conducting business.
Are local and school government open about their discussions and actions? Are citizens getting access to public information and documents with ease? How can we encourage more public involvement in decision making? These are some of the questions the task force is expected to answer in the months ahead.
To accomplish its fact finding, the task force is seeking comments from the public about their experiences accessing information or dealing with public entities. Email comments to southrivergreenteam@gmail.com.
Those who wish their comments remain anonymous can visit an online form that requires no personal information at bit.ly/SRTOG.
The deadline for comments is Dec. 14.
