I attended that packed room hearing.  It was so informative, and people brought interesting and thoughtful ideas to the table.

Also learned about bio-diesel, e-recycling and the hard work of the the committee.  The husband of one committee member, patiently waiting outside, said he knew the meeting was going to be a long one.
