WPCNR MR. & MRS. & Ms. White Plains Voice. June 5, 2007: It struck me last night observing "Common Council Theater" on Channel 75, reporters cannot afford to cover council meetings because of the automatic $15 ticket you get with extraordinarily lengthy hot air sessions in the Council Chambers, that over 40% of the city residents are Hispanic, 37% are White and 27% are black. Yet, a Hispanic resident not understanding English perfectly, would not be able, watching the council meeting to understand the proceedings. Heck, certain commissioners who speak English cannot be understood. Therefore it occurred to me to run a flash poll: Should Council meetings televised by captioned/ or better yet have a running Spanish translation of what is being said.
What do Mr. and Mrs. and Ms. White Plains think about that?
