A poll of village residents indicated that nearly 60 percent were not satisfied with the communication they received from the village government prior to the budget vote and throughout the year. The village proceeded to begin posting meeting minutes on the village website, to mail occasional one-page newsletters, and to send e-mail alerts to villagers about topics of general interest.

(A) A majority of villagers protested the latest bond proposal of $9 million for a new water project.
(B) Three villagers stood up at the last board meeting before the survey to complain about the lack of communication.
(C) Other villages in the area post their minutes and offer regular newsletters.
(D) Villagers suggested that their favorite modes of communication would be mail, e-mail, and website.
