Cheese Stands Alone

It's rare that the crony club doesn't back the big cheese.  Last night's council meeting was a treat.  Patch has the story this morning so take a moment and read the whole thing.
In a 4-1 vote with Encinitas Mayor Jerome Stocks opposed, Wednesday night Council adopted a policy that bans council members from messaging via their cell phones or wireless devices, like tablets, while they are on the dais.
Oh, do go say a few words of delight in the comments section for this victory for Barth who has addressed issues of technology along with open government and respect for colleagues and public consistently. And good for the others to have made the brave move to let the cheese stand alone.  More please . . .

Update: Coast News also has an article online about this no-texting at the dais resolution. Show this great little local paper some high traffic, enthusiastic commenting love.
