Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.
But my hope is, on a serious note, my 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 that is reasonable and acceptable to all of us.
We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this and seeing if we can't work this out.
