2) Preparing testimony – working meeting
7 pm, Thursday, Feb 23, Unity Church, Valmont & Folsom, Boulder
In the interest of covering all aspects of this complex issue, minimizing overlap, minimizing the glazing over of commissioners’ eyes, we will meet to prepare and organize testimony. We need speakers, researchers, and bodies to lend their names so we can pool time for the speakers.
Testimony topics include :
speaking to the threats: air, water, soil, health, economy (jobs, mortgages, local revenues, local costs, surface-owners’ rights), quality of life, etc.
speaking to the futility of regulation
speaking about personal experiences (next door or on your own property)
Please pick a topic of interest to you and REPLY : adjutrix@fastmail.us . Nancy Hall will send resource materials to you to help you get started.
