pineywoman1, you have caught my attention and would very much like to attend these meetings. In meetings past when I had something to say, I was never chosen. Does everyone get a chance to say what they have to say or ask? I have been sending my emails of concern directly to the source and have only received the mass media type responses. Would you believe only Eric Holmes in Vancouver and Marc Gross from ODOT are the only ones who have responded and taken the time to listen to me. Kind of sad, isn't it.
""And on another note. Give me your real name and I would be happy to pass on my opinion that you should be heard. If you don't mind I will let staff know that you are much respected on these bloggs and it would be a good PR move to hear you out. :-). Don't know how much my opinion will count but I am known to speak pretty plainly."""
With all due respect pineywoman1, I have shared publicly my stance on the bridge, the light rail, the waterfront project and various other issues concerning Vancouver, Clark County and the State of Washington. You may be sharing good intentions to help others become more involved, but I cannot accept your offer and will not share my name via the internet. If and when I show again at the meetings, I share my given name at that time and that time only. It is no disrespect intended to you, but I hope you understand I have certain rules I stick to when it comes to community politics.
