Council approves new social media policy for city employees
Mayor Greg Dionne supports the updated rules. “We have to make sure that people that we employ are positive about our city, and that’s why we hire you,” he told paNOW after the meeting. “You’re paid by the city and we expect you to be respectful to your employer… we don’t think our employees should be criticizing us, strictly because sometimes they don’t have the information that we do.” Mayor Greg Dionne says “if you want something negative, you go on social media.” Asked if there had been issues in the past, Dionne said there had been a few.
