Bob,

Knock it off. 

I spoke at the PUBLIC meeting on April 2nd. Come to the next Work Session on April 30th or Legislative Meeting on May 7th.

This isn't the forum to haggle with an elected official. Your just going to prevent your own words from being heard because people will choose to ignore them.

Show up like EVERYONE else has at a meeting. If you need a ride to the meeting let me know and I'll be happy to pick you up and bring you to it. I'm not saying your opinion doesn't matter but you should VOICE it in the proper venue. 

Just knock it off on the listserv, meant to let me know when a dog is loose or someone is giving away a free fridge.

Thanks,

Spiro Dimakas
4804 Somerset Rd

You can also attend next week's  legislative meeting in which I will be happy to answer these questions  verbally on the  record.  If none of these options work for you, I will provide you written answers to your questions in 1-2 weeks.  In the interim, the legislation will not be delayed.
