Re: Agreement Hashed Out In Private? Depends a lot on the cities involved. In the hearing I ran, we ran over a dozen newspaper ads and 300+ tv spots to publicize it. We carried the meeting live too.
Two people showed up; one to complain about his cable problem (that was fixed before he left the room), and the other was a non-resident who happened to be walking by and decided to comment.
We actually completely revamped two sections of the franchise between the hearing and taking it to city council, and nearly had to do another full revision after the first city council vote. So, in our case, consumer input probably would have had an impact if there had been any real input.
