A mild criticism of the City of Lakeland's recent action on the City Facebook page CityofLakelandTN was apparently deleted shortly after the comment was made. The following comment was made on Facebook, as a comment to an entry on future city meetings:
The comment concerned the recent consolidation of the Park and Recreation Board and the Natural Resources Board and the possible reasons for consolidation. No obscene words etc. were used.
Nick wrote: "Interesting to see that the parks board and natural resources boards are combined again. I guess out of nessecity since the entire parks department and natural resources departments were either fired or made miserable enough to quit."
As a general rule, if comments are allowed an organization using public funds to operate a web page, Facebook page etc. must allow critical comments as well as positive comments.
The comment was observed on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 and deleted (along with the original post by the City of Lakeland) by Wednesday, March 26, 2014.
We will monitor the Facebook page to see if future comments of any type are deleted and advise!
