As you all know there are requirements for municipalities to publish public notices in a newspaper. Not only is this a significant cost to local units of government, but now we're faced with the problem of newspapers going out of business or only publishing online.  The issue of allowing public notices to be published online is ripe for discussion. The League's Municipal Services committee discussed this at our last meeting and agreed that we need to start looking at allowing online publication.  Yesterday I was meeting with Rep. Haase (D-Richmond) and she indicated that she is requesting a bill to address this concern and allow local units to publish online. This is great news, and I look forward to working with Rep. Haase as we move forward on this important issue!
