[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say they were polling us in the virtual meeting, but giving only a few minutes to respond, and not answering questions. Felt rushed and was not a real poll if you see results. It was a “wham bam” poll[/quote]
They are not interested in real engagement and outreach. The way they advertise these events they intentionally try to stack the audience with activists they know who support their agenda. If the polling at the meeting doesn’t provide the results they want, they won’t report them. Etc, etc.

You have to understand that Planning, thanks to Casey Anderson, has been taken over by activists- many of whom don’t even live in the county (the planning area manager where I am lives in VA). They are not interested in what’s best for the county. They are only interested is furthering their activist agenda and using that as a springboard for self promotion.

This is what happens when you have an unaccountable government agency. The individual interests of mid-level bureaucrats becomes prioritized over the public good. [/quote]

Again, it’s all performative and there will be no accountability until 2026, which is very convenient timing for the council.

There is no implied or express way provided to say, no, we don’t want this.  It’s simply asking people about the window dressing on something that’s been pre-decided.[/quote]
