Unofficially, but thanks for the heads up!  It’s never too early to get organized.

Also, [b]not sure about public access to this[/b], but:

[b]The Planning, Housing and Parks (PHP) Committee will meet at 1:30 p.m. to continue to review the Planning Department’s Attainable Housing Strategies Draft Report and the Great Seneca Master Plan: Connecting Life and Science.

The members of the PHP Committee include Chair and Council President Andrew Friedson and Councilmembers Fani-González and Will Jawando.[/b][/quote]

They meet in public, PP. You can attend in person, or you can watch live, or you can watch later. Go to the County Council website for more information. This is basic information that all advocates on local issues should know about, even NIMBYs.[/quote]

Yes, of course, I just didn’t know the details offhand and was hoping that anyone interested would be able to provide them.  I know that it’s hard to grasp, but many of us NIMBYs have to work during the day and we can’t rearrange meetings to attend [b]amateur policy fantasy camp[/b].  We have mortgage payments to make, you know.[/quote]

If it were actually amateur policy fantasy camp, you wouldn't be so upset about it. Do you want to be an effective advocate, or not? If you do, then you have to take local government seriously. [/quote]
