Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.

How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.

No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.

From the video footage shown, they don't appear to have spent it well.
