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

Ms Cronk,
 All due respect, no there have been no PUBLIC Hearings on the legislation.
 There were two Legislative committee meetings concerning incomplete legislation. There were no common standard public notice of a public hearing.

 There is no crisis demanding consideration of this faulty legislation.
 There is time to do it correctly.

Bob, this is ridiculous. There *have* been public hearings on this piece of legislation -- two of them, in fact. And there have also been two work sessions. 

Residents have been invited to share their thoughts at the public hearings, and the work sessions are a chance to dig into the weeds of the proposed legislation. There is another work session scheduled for later this month on April 30, and another public hearing ahead of a Council vote on May 7.

You're asking for "special" hearings above and beyond what the Town already schedules for *every other piece of legislation* it considers.

Show up to the meetings and speak your piece. There's no need to harass Councilmembers on a town listserv.

Ms Dixon,
 Replying to all addresses you have used in your response, I have a simple question
 Does your response mean that you have decided to go back on your promise to provide me responses in writing?
 An additional question, are you finally in favor of a public hearing instead of pushing the faulty legislation through the council?
 As you know from previous communications, public hearings were held in Hyattsville and in Takoma Park.

Mr. Smith, 

In your effort for full transparency for all town resident (including those  who are not frequent readers of our town's list), raise your questions at the next council meeting and the council will provide you with responses on the record. 

Additionally, you are copying my personal email address. In the future, please use the two emails that I have copied to this message.

Regards,

Councilwoman Dixon

Mr. Smith, 

As you are aware, our website isn't as updated as we would like it to be. Nevertheless, if you would like the minutes, I'm sure you can obtain them from Town Hall.  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.

Best

Marsha
