[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not even that I’m against it, it’s that they won’t paint a clear picture and hold meetings where one can’t see the others online or even how many are in attendance, chat is disabled, questions aren’t shown unless approved/answered/, polls are given and one has less than a minute to process the info and answer, etc.[/quote]

Yes, where exactly is this opportunity for public input that they keep talking about?  A single unscientific and badly written poll?  This method of trying to get people to support a general plan without any details is completely backwards, and I get the feeling that it’s done this way on purpose because they do it again and again, starting with Thrive.  The planning board and the council treat these things as if they are already a done deal…but if that the case, why the charade?

This also happened recently when a certain council member was asked about the BRT center lane on US29.  She said oh no use talking about that, it’s already a done deal.  However, last I checked it hasn’t yet been built.  There is no “done deal.”  Who do these people think they are?[/quote]
