StreamSend Share for Marketing Campaigns Becomes Available, Tool Puts Social Marketing to Work for Businesses - Free
GRAHAM A policy to regulate how comments and suggestions from the public are presented to the city council was adopted Tuesday, but not without at least one resident warning the action bordered on censorship.
The resolution was initially suggested in January by councilman Chip Turner following an acrimonious election season in Graham, particularly in the mayors race, in which members of the public stood to speak on occasion to blast the council and mayor for what they called lack of leadership.
The 11-point proposal calls, in part, for anyone wishing to speak to sign up from 15 minutes before the meeting until the time for comments to be heard, usually at the end of the meeting agenda. Items addressed by the public should not be items already on the agenda or items scheduled for closed-door considerations.
Comments would be limited to four minutes per speaker. Presentations should remain civil in their language and presentation. Speakers must address the council, not a particular member, and discussions between speakers and members of the audience will not be allowed. It is recommended that if there are several people wishing to speak to the same subject, they choose one person to speak for them all.
Speakers would not be allowed to discuss the candidacy of any person seeking public office, including the speaker. This item brought complaint from Ron James, who ran for the council in the November election.
Youre on dangerous ground, he said. This is close to censorship. He added that if a councilman worries about his character being defamated cq, he shouldnt have run for council.
Mayor Jerry Peterman countered that the policy is not censorship, but a way to keep meetings running smoothly and more efficiently.
Its not censorship, he said, adding comments in the meeting were not like comments made in public on a street corner.
Why would you want to come to the council and discuss someones candidacy anyway? councilman Turner asked.
James maintained any restriction on speech is censorship and should be avoided.

Graham council changes policy on public comments
This past weekend, the Supreme Peoples Court (SPC) presented its work report which, as usual, was chock full of statistics and vague policy guidance language. There were also a number of accompanying speeches by officials and the usual Op/Eds commenting on everything. Quite a few potential topics there, but I want to briefly mention the issue of public opinion and its role in the judicial system.
Charlie Custer wrote a quick post about censorship and transparency aspects today, which is a good way to start this off:
Yesterday, Chinas Supreme Court president Wang Shengjun gave the Courts work report to Chinas National Peoples Congress. In it, he said something that has captured the attention of Chinese net users:
[...We must] place emphasis on listening to the opinions of the grassroots masses and other strata of society, we must place more emphasis on supervising public opinions about the news, we must pay more attention to the mood on the internet, respond quickly to the concerns of society, and unceasingly strengthen and improve the work of the Court.
Its a short statement, to be sure, but in the eyes of a Hunan Supreme Court justice who spoke with theBeijing Times, it is suggesting that the Court will push for tighter controls on the internet but that it also may open up some information about high-profile cases in response to the demands of the net-using public.
As is usually the case, whenever the government here discusses public opinion, the ensuing conversation focuses on censorship and transparency (the supervising part), with a special emphasis on Internet-based platforms like Weibo and bulletin board systems. No great surprise here given past efforts to manage such channels and current regulatory initiatives, including the various real name systems. Moreover, the governments continued emphasis on such management is obvious you cant swing a dead cat without hitting an official making a speech about the pernicious effects of online rumor-mongering.
But I always like to bring up another issue that is almost always ignored in these discussions, and that is the matter of judicial independence. Keep in mind that the SPC report and related commentary was primarily about the judiciary, and not public security or regulation of the Internet. And when we talk about public opinion, there are (at least) two issues here: the ability of citizens to make and access public statements, and how that information is then digested and used. Using the above language, the issues are supervision of and listening to public opinion.
The first issue, involving management of public opinion, is the one that gets the most attention generally; as the topic has political significance, this is appropriate. But the second issue is much more important in terms of the judiciary itself. As Ive pondered many times before in earlier posts, what is the role of public opinion when it comes to the judicial system? Or to put it another way, should judges be influenced by public opinion, and if so, how much weight should this be given?
Keep in mind that the topic of judicial independence is a complex and important one. Discussions of judicial independence in China usually focus on political influence, not the effects of public opinion. Obviously the former has much more influence on judicial action than the latter. That doesnt mean, however, that public opinion does not sway judges and prosecutors there have been several high-profile criminal cases in the past few years that illustrate this point quite well.
So when the judicial establishment talks about listening to the grassroots masses, this could refer to a number of things. Primarily it means paying attention to sensitive issues like local corruption, land misappropriation, environmental degradation disputes that lead to social instability. This sounds all well and good, since we want the judicial system to take an active role in solving these problem. But what does it really mean that the judiciary should listen?
