I've bitten my tongue for a long time now ever since I recognized Paul's point, it just boggles my mind and once again questions the fairness of this process.

I have an interview with another local paper, and that same point is at the top of my discussion.

In local governments, when seeking public comment and input in a workshop setting, another workshop is conducted 1-2 weeks later taking those ideas and then presenting the pros/cons of those ideas. Most of the time the public provides ideas that are just plain crazy, some provide ideas that would have been great if it wasn't for some type of conflict with a local/state/federal law or sometimes it just isn't cost efficient, and some provide ideas that staff incorporates fully or partially. Nonetheless, we hold follow-up workshops that explains the pros and cons of ALL public input in either verbal or written format. I have no idea what type of public input process this MLPA is conducting.....with all these degrees floating around it seems none of them took Public Administration 101.
