Well, there is a good compromise out there, and I think if we are smart and don't give up today, we will find it.
I usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.
Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.
