When will Boone County Government enter the web age?

The school districts have it, Rock Valley College has it, as does the City of Belvidere.  But Boone County Board  does not.  I am speaking of posting minutes of board meetings on the internet.  They may have not done this on their own.  Since 2006 it is mandated by state law for most governmental units.

So where are we in this whole thing at Boone County Government.  Take a look at my letter and if you agree with me that the county minutes should be posted on the internet, please contact your local representative on the Boone County Board.
