Now is the time for me to
not abuse my friendship w/ Suvia and discuss in private/secret a subject
that is better discussed out in the open in public (rural residential zoning).
Recall Carol Helms' concern w/ me when I listed the members of the M-L EDC
for the "breach of trust." Organizations can close in on themselves and
the results are not pretty in my view.
I know this is problematic but my role as a dispassionate facilitator
of the process would be compromised by becoming a member of a
defacto kitchen or fireplace cabinet for one POV. I've seen this happen to others.
This facilitator role is one MV2020 has taken on for itself from time to time
and one I am suggesting for it w/ this possible mini series.
Perhaps I'm wrong on this but that's never stopped
me in the past from holding a strongly held view.
