Exemplary Agenda
I really appreciate the way this agenda has been prepared. This agenda does not merely comply with minimum legal requirements (which seems to have become the prevailing practice in Brattleboro) but it is clearly intended to inform us in a meaningful way about the issues to be dealt with, in the spirit of welcoming public involvement.
