Already?? Wow!!! What is interesting is that there has been no "noise" about the hearing. Usually, there are emails going around asking people to prepare and attend. It is as if we shouldn't have known about it.
Also scheduling a hearing mid-August guarantees a low attendence. Also intentional??
The ULURP clock determines the timing of the hearing. What's really cynical about this hearing is that they've scheduled three controversial zoning hearings on the same day in the same room.
They've given the EV/LES rezoning from 9-11. The scoping hearing on the EV/LES rezoning last June lasted all day and all evening.
They know it's going to be a scene so they want to use the people there to speak to the other rezonings to defend cutting the EV/LES testimony short -- pitting one angry community against another.
