Public Comments
Rep. Earl Jones' bill that requires public bodies to set aside time at least once a month for public comments became law today. The governor allowed it to become law without signing it.
Update: I had e-mailed the governor's office asking why he didn't bother to sign this bill. This is the reply I got from Easley press secretary Sherri Johnson:
"To answer your question about H635, this is more in the nature of a local bill -- and local bills are not ordinarily presented to the Governor to sign."
