Mo. Housing Development board to start webcasting meetings

You may have seen our story Friday about the Missouri Housing Development Commission’s plan to give homebuyers in the state a $1,250 tax waiver next year.

Now you can watch them vote to make it law.

The MHDC said today it plans to webcast its meeting this week, for the first time ever. It’ll be a test run for the software, in the hopes of webcasting all MHDC meetings for all those who can’t make it to Jefferson City on a Friday morning.

“As State Treasurer and as Chair of MHDC, time and again I see that government works best when its business is conducted in a transparent and accountable fashion,” said State Treasurer Clint Zweifel. “I asked MHDC staff to look into how we could make webcasting work, and this is our first test as we learn how we can provide this service at all meetings. This is a step in the right direction of continuing to make government more transparent and continuing to build the public trust.”
