I attended the weekly Clark County commissioners meeting on Sept. 16. During the public comments, a citizen commented on the fact that Commissioner David Madore maintains both a county Facebook page and his own personal Facebook page.
As I understand his personal page, he like anyone else is able to post opinions and his views on any issue that he wants to as a private citizen. The citizen commented that Madore had chosen to eliminate some of the commenters on his personal page from their ability to reply to his views.
There is a fine line when you are an elected official between posts on county issues that are being debated and voted on and maintaining your own personal Facebook page.
I do not think that any person should not be able to have their own Facebook page and post their views. That person should be able to take down comments that are personal attacks or offensive from their own personal Facebook page.
