:     New Citizens Group Seeks to Open Doors to Local Government

: Hoboken, NJ— Today it was announced that a new organization, People for Open Government, has been formed by concerned citizens to address key issues that affect the public’s access to government. Its first project will be to improve the flow of information to and from Hoboken’s City Hall.  

: John Glasel, spokesperson for the group, said, “In the United States, government is supposed to be accessible and should exist to serve the people. In Hoboken and in much of Hudson County, many people are not getting the information or the guidance that they need.  People for Open Government will actively seek to improve this situation.”   

: The group has developed an “Electronic Access Ordinance” that will soon be presented to Hoboken’s City Council.  It will require the city to maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date website and to communicate with citizens via e-mail.  “Our citizens are Internet savvy,” said Glasel.   “A website that has such things as meeting dates, agendas, minutes of meetings, and information request forms will help our government meet the needs of the community.  Interacting with Hoboken’s City Hall often requires residents to take time off from work.  It’s much easier for people in towns that put their data on websites and respond to e-mail requests.  Hoboken should do no less for its residents.”
