Parks Board turns people away from a public meeting...

Last night the Harrison County Parks Board turned multiple people away from its meeting with no other option to attend. These meetings are not recorded, minutes are not published, the location often changes and is at times unknown.

This particular meeting was not listed in this week's The Corydon Democrat or anywhere else online. It's not too much to ask that public meetings be listed on the Parks Department's website or Facebook page.

This lack of transparency is very troubling. There are other options such as meeting at the government center, recording the meetings, and publicly posting detailed agendas and minutes. These basic efforts towards transparency are practiced by the commissioners, the council, and the Corydon Town Hall.

As we have seen in recent months, the Parks Board makes decisions that affect us all and it should not be this hard to find out what is happening.
