A blogging Christiansburg councilman
Christiansburg Town Councilman Brad Stipes has started his own blog called AdvanceChristiansburg. On it he plans to share information with town residents about town issues and seek citizen input.
Residents might remember that Stipes is also the councilman largely responsible for pushing the town Web site redesign. Perhaps there's hope for Christiansburg's digital future with people like Stipes around.

I think that is a great idea. More local politicians should look at connecting with citizens in this kind of an open fashion. I voted for Mr. Stipes when he first ran for council because I felt like he would bring about new life to the town. So far, I have been quite pleased with what he's done...although I'm no longer a town resident.

Having a blog is easy and cheap. If this were 1998, I'd be impressed. In 2008 I wonder what took him so long.The fuss made about Stipes' blog spotlights the delayed development of Christiansburg's staff and representatives regarding all things technical.
