In order to become an Eagle Scout I have to do a service project helpful to my community. My idea is to have the Town Board meetings broadcast over the radio. This has been done in several other U.S. communities and has been very successful. I believe that this would be very useful in keeping Town of Queensbury residents informed about Town matters. Would you please call me at 793-6069 to discuss my idea.
