Just goes to show you ...

... that awards mean nothing!

I'm looking through the agenda for Monday's City Council meeting (which, if I had picked up yesterday, I would have been able to tell you then about Katie Ives' order about the landfill admin order) and I see where the city is the "proud recipient of the 2009 E-Government Ward" ... I assume it's supposed to be "Award" ... for the municipal web site.

The award was given by Common Cause of Massachusetts "In recognition of [the city's] commitment to open government by posting key government records on its website. To wit: governing body's agenda and minutes, budget, and by-laws or ordinances."

Yeah, it works fine *ahem* unless you're looking for minutes of the Plum Island Workgroup ...
