Subject: This discussion regarding SB198

Everyone,

A simple interest in maintaining a public hearing requirement has opened a hornets nest regarding how the public's ability to participate in many issues concerning our communities, on the surface may appear open and allowing public participation, yet have what I would call "interlocks" that inhibit involvement like limited public posting requirements and a Department's ability to question a person's "standing" in regards to the issue or plan up for consideration.
Speaking from a position that's based on my civic involvement, I was wondering if anyone ( from CLNCC, DelCOG, PDD, the Repub. Party, etc.) is interested in working on an 11th hour effort to improve openness in the public processes controlled by the State where notification, hearing requirements and community standing should be legislated better.

If you have any interest, drop me a note.
