HELP!

I have tried to sort through our county code just to find out exactly how the planning process is supposed to work, but to no avail. How is it supposed to work? We have a group in our area (an NGO no less) that has come up with a plan. They claim the plan is built on citizen input. But, they have held meetings disreguarding citizen input, and now have a version they fully expect to be codified that they won't let us, the property owners and voters even see before they present it to the board of supervisors. I know this isn't the process, but what is?

That is the exact purpose of writing vague, incomprehensible rules and regulations: to keep the citizen in the dark until it's too late.

How is it supposed to work?

The Constitution guarantees every state a republican form of government. That is how it's supposed to work, but doesn't.

You have been Delphi'd, a technique used to build false consensus. Very insidious and dangerous to our way of life. It's like a meeting of the Comintern where input is asked for as a show of co-operation, then rejected.

It is what the process has become.

Wear a white, short sleeved shirt with a pocket protector full of pens, and black slacks pulled up to your rib cage. White socks and black shoes. Go up to the planners and ask them if they are familiar with Revelations and that you hear voices and believe they are Satan’s emissaries sent to prepare the way for the anti-Christ. Sprinkle Evan water on them and start mumbling . Then back away jibberishing in Latin.

I don’t know if it will stop them but it should make them uncomfortable. Maybe so many Volvo driving, tree hugging , bunny raping limp wrist eco-nazis will quit being annoying busy bodies. Just a thought.
