Effective Town Government
The Chatham Democrats have a history of advocating for open, inclusive and effective town government. Democratic-led town boards have established citizen committees to support the board’s work and open the governing process to broad public participation. Under Democratic leadership, the budget process has been increasingly transparent and prudent, and has eased the town’s passage through difficult times. We believe much more needs to be done to ensure that communication between town government and its citizens is clear, timely and interactive. We believe that all board members should be thoroughly trained in the legal responsibilities, ethical guidelines, and best practices of effective town government.
