| Ed Meyer for Kanab City Council |
Ed believes the best government occurs as more and more
people have a chance to interact with their elected officials.
He also feels that public hearings are one of the worst
forums for this interaction to occur because so few people
attend and participants tend to perform rather than listen.
For that reason, he is providing a new way to facilitate better
communications.
The August 28, 2009 edition of USA Today reported that social media such
as Facebook and Twitter are exploding into the communications marketplace
with 35% of adults over 18 participating in 2008, quadrupling the percentage
in 2005. Facebook now has 250 million users, 50% of whom joined in the
past three months. Time spent on Facebook has increased by 700% since
April with the fastest growing demographic group being those over 35. One
of the great features of Facebook is the ability for those visiting a site to pose
questions and make comments.
For these reasons, Ed Meyer has opened a Facebook site specifically to
encourage the exchange of ideas leading up to this November's election. It
doesn't cost to participate so.everyone in Kanab is encouraged to join and
