Better Communication needed for Eagle Mountain

Apparently Eagle Mountain will be getting the two eastbound lanes we have wanted and needed for years. I believe this is a huge victory for our city and will help drastically with our economic development efforts. However, I am frustrated with how great news such as this has been poorly communicated to the residents of Eagle Mountain. Tuesday night at the city council meeting, attendance of 10 at best, Mayor Jackson stated that she was happy to announce the second eastbound lane was being added on SR 73. She added that as soon as she found out she contacted David Lifferth to have him add the news on his website, which he immediately did. I sent an email to Mayor Jackson and all city council members on Tuesday night after the meeting asking them to identify on the city website where the eastbound lane announcement was made. As of Friday morning nobody has replied and the announcement is still not on the city website. Why is it that this great news for all residents of the city is not on the city website, but only posted on a candidate's website? I believe that better communication needs to happen in our local government. As a city councilman I will strongly support more use of the city website. I think twitter is great for those who tweet, but for the rest of the population, breaking news involving the city belongs on the city website.
