Submitted this earlier but will try again ….. from my experience with these advisory committees – they want your input as long as you’re a “yes man” ….. basically they want to be able to say they had citizen input to what their actions are and their strategies….. if you have a differing opinion – it’s like “thank you for your input” and get ignored
