LETTER: Objection to streaming meetings is hard to understand

March 30, 2026

To the Editor:

I believe and am for all select board meetings to be live-streamed. For various reasons, people are unable to attend in person, yet want to know firsthand what is actually going on in their town. I fail to understand what objection the board members can have. The technology available today can benefit everyone interested, and at a minimal expense. No one should be excluded.

–Susan Kimball, Portland
