I think I did make specific suggestions about the website. It needs to be cleaned up and organized. Items from 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 need to be removed. For example, here is no need for kudos to Mr. Cullerton for his speech from 2011 based on his most recent actions. I believe that is Bob's point. Trying to wade through all the old stuff makes finding the more current, relevant information harder.

Maintaining a website does take a lot of time. I am in no way criticizing Mr. Coleman. I think he is dong an excellent job as webmaster but he may need some extra help in streamlining the website.

PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED ON THE HOME PAGE IS "FINALLY A LITTLE BALLANCE". AT THAT SITE ARE LISTED TWO RECENT ARTICLES AND THE TWO RECENT ARTICLES ARE BOTH DATED 5-2-11. WHAT? 5-2-11 RECENT? TODAY IS 2-27-13

RTAC should change their letterhead to reflect their new address. I received an invitation to join and sent a check to the address on the invitation. It was returned as "undeliverable."

The e-mail alert that I got and the note on the web site both said the office was moving and would be closed from 2/1 until 2/7 and that the new number would not be available until 2/7. Sometime earlier this week the home page was changed and had the new number and address.

Have either of you sent SPECIFIC suggestions to the webmaster as to what changes you would like to see? A couple of months ago I sent the idea for an archive page to simplify finding the most current information and it was implemented. I don't know what the current arrangements with Mr. Coleman are but the previous webmaster (VK Brown) did the web stuff pro bono (i.e. no compensation). Normally maintaining an active site is very time consuming (and costly).

RTAC is moving right now so try calling them next week. Moving is hard work and the phones may be down for a bit.

Also, I agree with a previous post. Many things on this website are very old and irrelavent. It makes finding the important information more difficult. We need to be able to access current information quickly.

How about cleaning and organizing the website? We should have a central place to get the current legislative information that we need. We are under attack everywhere. We will soon see harmful pension changes being passed. Let's get better organized with a more relevant website..

According to the phone company, the phone number listed on the RTAC website has been changed to 312-750-1522. I called the changed number at 11:00 AM on Friday morning, 2/1/13 and it rang with no answer; there was no voicemail message with information on office hours or options to leave a voice message. There are no office hours listed on the RTAC website. It's embarrassing to me as a retired Chicago teacher to stumble upon such inefficiency. Please update with current technology. Now I'm not sure I want to join. I also have little faith that my email will be read.
Embarrassed.
