Since this is not  a Public Hearing and comments are not Testimony, your comments do not have to be as formal, but BE SPECIFIC about which Goal, Policy or Action Measure you are referring to.  This section is short, but extremely important - it directs how LO will expand its boundaries in the future.  Stafford anyone?  Would you like to see the item changed or deleted, and WHY.  Please try to include objective data wherever you can.

Staff Reports provide the rationale for the goals, etc.   Read this part of the report and note subjective, undocumented, and fuzzy data.  There are often errors pertaining to conventional wisdom that are not factual.

It's best if write your opinions AND attend the meeting to speak.  Send your written comments to the staff liaison, Scot Siegel for distribution to the PC.
