All due respect, no there have been no PUBLIC Hearings on the legislation.<br>
There were two Legislative committee meetings concerning incomplete legislation. There were no common standard public notice of a public hearing.<br>
<br>
There is no crisis demanding consideration of this faulty legislation.<br>
There is time to do it correctly.<br>

<div dir="ltr">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.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You're asking for "special" hearings above and beyond what the Town already schedules for *every other piece of legislation* it considers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Show up to the meetings and speak your piece. There's no need to harass Councilmembers on a town listserv.</div>

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

<div dir="auto">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.</div>
