The Missourian Weekend, Dec. 31, 2011-Jan. 1, 2012 Page 5DPUBLIC NOTICES"BECAUSE THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW"

You’re on the city council, how do you feel about account-ability to citizens?

“Because the People Must Know.”

If accountability is important to you as an elected official, keep in mind that public notices in this newspaper provide accountability for you.

State law requires city councils to place notices of many activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper.

A printed notice in this newspaper can’t be hacked into like a website. It’s permanent. The date in the corner proves it was printed when required. How much is that perfect accountability worth in times when trust in government at all levels is so low?

Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet provide the same measure of accountability?

The answer to that is apparent. No, it would not.
