Move to reduce advertising costs for cities asks suppot

OPINION
Republican sponsored SB Bill 101would reduce costs and improve transparency for cash strapped city governments. It does not shift public notice or "Legal Advertising" to broadcast, Tv, cable, or Internet Sites, just reduces a costly expense of local government. - CM.

Senate Bill 101, sponsored by Senator Chris McDaniel (R-Taylor Mill), would give local governments the option to post required advertisements on a website operated by a local government in lieu of a newspaper publication, so long as a onetime advertisement is published in an actual newspaper.

The online notice for most fiscal documents must be made available to the public for at least one year on the local government's website. To maintain transparency for those residents without Internet access, a phone number will be provided in the newspaper advertisement that will direct the public to the location where a printed copy of the advertised document or record may be obtained. The bill specifies requirements for advertisements published on the local government's website and in the newspaper. This is a KLC initiative.

Call to Action:

Significant opposition has formed from the newspaper industry and they are inundating the Kentucky Senate with phone calls. If Kentucky voters and cities truly want to implement these important cost-saving measures for their communities, Kentucky voters & city officials must call Senators and let them know that you wholeheartedly support SB 101.
