Fargo City Commission reverses mayor’s decision to stop public comment broadcast

Fargo city leaders have stepped back from a plan to stop broadcasting public comments, keeping livestreams intact while they revisit how those comment periods should work. The reversal came after residents raised transparency concerns and commissioners said they hadn’t been consulted about the change. Officials say the real challenge is balancing open participation with rising incivility, a problem many cities are facing. Now the commission will review its rules to ensure comments stay relevant and orderly without cutting the public out of the conversation. April Baumgarten with InForum has the full story.
