I would say there is a lesson here for both of us, and one of those is to make clear I am always ready to take your calls, your meeting, whatever you want and engage.
We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
I hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes.
Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.
