YOUR COMMUNITY IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
Philosophy: Government access is a tool to help inform and unify citizens. The primary goal is to encourage an active participation in the democratic process. An informed citizen is an involved citizen.
- Waycross carries the council and trustees meetings from our three communities LIVE and then replays them throughout the month.
- Waycross taped for playback every Winton Woods and Finneytown School Board meeting. We also cover the Hamilton County Public Library Board of Trustees and Stormwater Oversight Board meetings.
