Stebbijo: Let DFO Run City Facebook

Stebbijo (Gookin still votes against appointments): As a citizen of CdA -- I find this back and forth banter among our city leaders distasteful but necessary, otherwise some citizens might come to an undesirable conclusion. What constitutes official city business? What about the folks that are not getting this commentary? At times, it appears that HBO is the official town hall - why do we need a Facebook page? What a waste of money. I propose that HBO become a regular part of the city agenda. Just get it out there - it is what it is. Let’s have another committee that defines social network etiquette for the city council and then we can really have a great time approving members . Let’s see how that works. The only other option is to let Cindy take the helm and let DFO retire and run for a city council seat - then, DFO could take over the city Facebook page that cost us way too much money, anyway.

Question: Do you think Mayor Dan Gookin should hire your Huckleberry Hound to handle the city's social media when I retire from SR?
