The State Civil Defense recipient of our January 11th email had this response today about the public meeting we're advocating: "I do not believe this is something we would like to do." He stressed it's his personal opinion and that he's not had time to talk with Vice Director Ed Teixeira due to the latter's busy schedule.
Staffer Dave Curtis implied a meeting is unnecessary because SCD has been responsive to the public's emails and telephone calls. CHORE has been ineffective in presenting our case to Dave, a radio newsroom veteran, on why meeting with the public would be a demonstration of the agency's responsiveness and willingness to entertain the public's views.
We've resent the email -- this time directly to Ed -- and hope for a positive response when he's considered the value of meeting with the public as described in our message.
