What is the Definition of Involvement?

From a Meeting Attendee:

I received a copy of the transcript of the recent Greene County Planning Board meeting [by request]. Although I was in the room and witnessed the comments, I am incensed by the lack of intelligence and common sense of this proposal which is detrimental to property owners on the eastern side of Greene County. The PROCESS is wrong, is questionable relative to long range plans and DEMANDS the attention of community members.
I will continue to educate those that cast a vote on the issue before us - HOWEVER......
it is IMPERATIVE all concerned property owners be involved.
  1. Attend every meeting that has a potential negative effect on your property value. [The next meeting is May 18, same time, same place].
  2. Write/email letters to The News Leader. Another BIG article is scheduled soon [maybe Sunday].
  3. Call/email/write the County Commission and Planning Board members [as a collective]. Be respectful and stay on target [they don't care about how the road will impact your individual septic system].

Suggestion for a call or email:

I am disappointed the City of Springfield failed to evaulate the situation prior to the rezoning and I expect those that represent the Residents of Greene County to correct their error in judgment. A failure to do so will be burned into my memory when I cast my vote in the future.
