County commission tosses citizen from meeting

At least three members of the Clayton County, Ga., Commission fought back against critics at a recent meeting and eventually had one resident escorted out by police

At least three members of the Clayton County, Ga., Commission fought back against critics at a recent meeting and eventually had one resident escorted out by police. Two residents of the south Atlanta community came to the meeting and asked the commissioners if they were really listening to the people, according to the News Daily. The commissioners responded by saying they were listening but did not have to hear the same thing each week. Police escorted one resident out of the meeting when he refused to stop interrupting the closing statements of Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell who had referred to the resident’s “Born 2 Raze Hell” T-shirt during his comments.

It’s all about "connectivity" – the connection between government and its citizens, and the real and perceived benefits that arise from that. Governments manage more effectively and efficiently through greater public input and feedback.
