Couleur Locale - Region goes Online

There seems to be a competition going on in our region. In the same issue of a local newspaper, there are two articles about new online appearances. On the front page of "Warburg zum Sonntag" I read an article about the new activities of the city of Warburg. Apparently, the city council is striving for more transparence, and will be publishing their decisions and in some cases even meeting minutes on the net. Interesting. I am already looking forward to the first juicy details about mud fight discussions of our councellers. Or will the mayor personally censor the meeting minutes before they are published?
By the way, the article also informs, that pictures and other media will not be included, because the available storage capacity would not be enough. Never knew the city was that short on cash.

The city of Brakel, is also getting more and more active online. According to their mayor, in the "Warburg zum Sonntag" the city has added a few more pieces of the mosaic of information, the city is offering its citizens on the net. The latest are tips for saving energy, and lots of information about wedding locations that are offered in Brakel, all to be found on the Brakel homepage.
