One of several housing bills approved by the state Legislature Earlier this month. This bill, sponsored by senators , mandates many elements in the planning process and forces by right approval for many projects. It has been amended many times. I have given up on trying to read it, and understand it. Your work here looks like, you know, planning for dummies, so clear, so understandable when compared to the state legislature and the bills. It is unbelievable. I am asking you to help us understand...

I am concerned that while we are going to put a burden on the businesses to charge 25 cents, i am concerned there will be a counter act of not going after not compostables that are more expensive because they will be charging the people for them until they would just find a cheaper...

[music playing] [applause] thank you very much. You know, i went through a tour yesterday through the locker room. And it is the most remarkable place ive ever seen in my life.

Is not what i am picking up here. I expected actually to hear quite a bit more aggressive talk in opposition. Instead what i heard was a lot of willing to work with each other, trying to get to that spot. I would just caution you from going too far down that aggressive, sort of us versus them. It doesnt actually look to me like us versus them. We should probably try to foster more of that working together to make this as effective as possible. With all due respect, you should see my email inbox ...

Stuff, i love going to my local places and they are all going away. I would like to come up with something that is a winwin on both sides. What that is . I dont know. Im trying to get feedback. I like what william said here, you know, maybe if there is something we can get back, or something you said, like low hanging fruit with fees.

They have tvs in eve...
