They both have a point. Robo calls are okay for a fast take on issues. But some people do believe it is disruptive to their lives, because they are unsolicited phone calls. They also got a bad rap because they have been misused in the past. But I know the questions asked if they were properly used, which seems to be the case here.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, if Clr. McHattie talked to enough people face to face, individually or in groups, he would probably get a better understanding than a robo call survey. Just because people say yes or no, doesn't mean that they have enough information to make a good decision.

Robocalls are like voice mail. It can easily be misused. But I support it being used on the Casino thing, as long as it is not the be all and end all. But Mr. Dreschel made a good point about the city council having to be better prepared to handle big items that need consultation.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love Councillor McHattie. I respect the man for his tact and decency. As for answering the question, NO - I hate being disturbed at home, especially by an auotmated message. I persoanlly hang up as soon as I hear these type of messages.
