Oh!…. good just what we need, more bureaucracy
claude long,
.
It’s not more bureaucracy, as this isn’t something new, it already exists.
Not sure about this one but in my experience with several “advisory committees” in this area – they want to have citizens on a committee so they can say they rean everything by this “committee” and go ahead and do what they want anyway… that way they can check off the box that says “residents input?”
Bingo!
As a former member of one of these “committees”, I can 100% confirm your statement.
White people not qualified
The City Council will do what it wants no matter what the advisory board says.
Why waste the time?
The Concord City Council only wants to appoint individuals to positions like this as long as the person they’re appointing thinks as they do. They don’t want any diversity of thought!!!
