Do Winston-Salem City Council members have internet access during council meetings?  I just checked out online video of the last council meeting and it doesn’t look like they do, but I can’t see what’s right in front of them.  If they do have internet access, I’m thinking we need to check their user logs for those time periods.  Why?  Look what a TV station in San Antonio found when they checked the San Antonio city council members’ user logs during council meetings.  Here’s just a taste:

Trouble Shooter Collister asked Bob, "Do you feel like they’re listening to you if they are on the internet?"

"Of course not," answered Bob,
"They’re not listening to me. They’re not listening to anybody. They’re
turned off. They’re just waiting to vote on that issue and go onto the
next one."

Councilman Chip Haass
apparently wanted to get onto the next issue. During the hearing, he
was checking out the website of a photo gallery of the New Orleans
Saints Cheerleaders.

Haass explained to the Trouble
Shooters, "In that case, I was actually researching New Orleans Saints
things, trying to see if it was going to work in New Orleans or whether
or not they would be looking for a home in San Antonio. Happened to
have some cheerleaders catch my eye on the web page and went and viewed
the rest of their site."

However, the councilman was
checking out their cheerleaders six months after the Saints announced
they were going back to New Orleans.

Hey, at least it wasn’t porn.
