Council in the Mirror

“When people are made to be self-aware, they are likelier to stop and think about what they are doing,” Dr. [Galen V.} Bodenhausen said. “A byproduct of that awareness may be a shift away from acting on autopilot toward more desirable ways of behaving.” as quoted in today's New York Times.

That's precisely what I hope to accomplish with our public affairs programming, including rebroadcasts of New Albany City Council meetings. In knowing that every person in the city (and beyond) can hear and interpret every word they say, every vote they cast, one would hope that "more desirable ways of behaving" will ensue. Stay tuned.
