Interact Live With Belmont Patch at Town Meeting

Patch's Cover It Live broadcast allows readers to have their say about Town Meeting as it happens.

 

Think the electrical substation is too expensive? Dying to find out the answer to some burning Town Meeting question? I know I am. 

But for the most part, whether you're sitting at home or will be in the Chenery Middle School auditorium, Town Meetings are typically sober gatherings where you wait your turn to speak and then sit back down.

But now, Belmont Patch is giving representatives and the public the chance to attend the meeting and interact with fellow residents and just about anyone else interested in the proceedings.

Bring your laptop, tablet or smartphone to the restart of the Special Town Meeting at the Chenery Middle School tonight, Feb. 8, and join the conversation beginning at 6:45 p.m. as Belmont Patch uses the live-event publishing platform, Cover It Live, to allow those in the auditorium or at home the ability to express opinions, post and answer questions and take polls.

All you need to do is log on to Belmont Patch and click on the Cover It Live icon. Once on the platform, you're in: Follow the conversation happening live and jump in with your own comments on the Town Meeting articles to be voted. 

The only rule: be civil.

Hope to hear from you tonight.

Sounded interesting! Is there really a "Cover It Live" icon somewhere on the page?
