In March of 2007, the New Jersey Supreme Court unanimously ruled that residents have a common law right to record public meetings. Starting with the first council meeting in November, Ken Bireta plans on recording the Ewing Township Council meetings. Although he’s not sure how long it will take him to encode and upload the audio and video, both an audio mp3 along with an embedded Google Video will be made available at the Ewing Township Liberty Club website. He would also like eventually make the Mayor’s monthly meeting as well as other public board meetings available for on demand review by the residents of Ewing Township.
