Cyber-savvy White House unveils new administration website
By Christine Anne Piesyk | January 20, 2009 | 
Change has indeed come to America.
Even as the inauguration of President Barack Obama got underway in Washington D.C. today, the new White House website, www.whitehouse.gov, was up and running.
It’s an impressive site, building on and expanding the technology and communication systems that tech-savvy Obama used in his presidential campaign. It went live at noon, January 20.
On first click, the headline reads “Change has come to America.” On three subsequent pages, we read: “Revitalizing the Economy,” “Welcome to the new whitehouse.gov,” and “A New Era of Public Service.”

The site includes “briefing room” of slide shows, a White House blog, proclamations, executive orders, and general news (appointments, nominations). Users will also be able to subscribe to e-mail updates. Visitors can e-mail President Obama and his staff with a character limit set at 500. «Read the rest of this article»

Some questions for the council before they vote on this measure, if you please.
1.) What are the terms of this lease agreement?
2.) How long will Mr. Batts be required to actually operate the marina?
3.) What is the projected time frame needed for the city to recoup the $32 million dollars of leveraged debt underwritten to pay for the creation of the marina and the redevelopment of Fairgrounds Park?
4.) Why are these details not listed in the published version of the council meeting’s agenda?
5. Where is the public referendum required by the city charter when the city enters into an enterprise where the city’s credit has been utilized? «Read the rest of this article»
