They claim these hearings are to gain input from the public, but again and again, <br />the only amendments we see seem harsher and farther from what the majority of <br />residents are echoing. How 121 has even reached this point of the process with <br />so many unanswered issues and loose ends is beyond me- and honestly, makes <br />me lose faith in this system of law making. <br />I think we should all be very cautious when they use terms like "grandfathered in" <br />to gain our passive cooperation, when we all know that many of us will be shut <br />down for good and possibly lose our homes or face massive fines. They just <br />keep pushing and pushing based on unvalidated claims and theoretical <br />outcomes. <br />I feel for all of the families and individuals facing this ill written bill. I am sorry for <br />the stress, time and energy lost from going against people who do not seem to <br />care about our futures, or the damage they will cause. We deserve better from <br />our council members. <br />Shame on anyone who passes this bill and shame on the co-authors for not <br />doing the proper research, or listening when community feedback showed the <br />errors in their thinking. I truly wish they would look at the "consider it" website <br />and survey they put together, claiming they desired the community's input and <br />feedback. It does not seem that any of it was considered at any time in this <br />process. <br />To everyone listening, please make sure to vote this year for new council <br />members if they support this bill. Also, please be aware that council members <br />are trying to extend their terms from 2 years to 4 years through Bill 143. <br />Every resident should be alarmed by this. <br />Thank you. <br />
