[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now we just have the crazy chairperson cutting people off after 90 seconds.  There are actually two people on the commission with children at home.  There is a strong ageist, anti single family home dweller bias.  It's also the only ANC that has not moved back to hybrid meetings.[/quote].

Do you think everyone should be able to ramble on as long as they want?[/quote]

Allowing members of the public -- who include the voters -- to speak for more than 90 seconds is not "rambling on as long as they want."  Other ANCs have gone to hybrid meetings, as has the DC Council.  If the intention is to wait for the "perfect" hybrid meeting, the wait will be an eternity.  The perfect can't be the enemy of the good.  What is wrong in our Northwest DC ANC is that the chair exercises the complete ability online to cut people off after a minute or two, which doesn't allow for comments and questions on issues that sometimes can be complicated.  ANC meetings feel staged, where most commissioners seem very certain in their own opinions and don't appear very interested in hearing public debate.[/quote]
