The first step is to find a way to limit the number of people that actually make it to the public hearing.\u00a0 Zero is a nice number, but a few would be okay.\u00a0 One way to do this is to notify the public via newspaper advertising: put a tiny ad in the paper, at an unannounced random time, that there's going to be a public hearing.\u00a0 Do you look at the public hearings section of the newspaper everyday?\u00a0 Neither do I.\u00a0 Another trick is to make sure that the public meeting location is in such a traffic-congested-from-hell or out of the way location, that the very idea of the journey will put you off. Yet another trick is to change the date, or time, or -- this one makes 'em snicker every time -- the location itself at the last minute.\u00a0 This latter is good for at least a 50% reduction in attendees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Day of the public meeting:<\/strong><\/em> <strong>a)<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ksw.hjy.mybluehost.me\/HON-DESTINATION\/index.php\/2019\/03\/03\/public_hearing_outrage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no one of any consequence<\/a> in the administration actually shows up to hear and respond to the public's concerns (true story below); <strong>b)<\/strong> the public is limited to just three minutes speaking time.\u00a0 Three minutes -- you'd have to be Stephen King to compose something relevant for that short a duration;\u00a0 <strong>c)<\/strong> remarkably silly rules during the meeting: \"Please do not address the audience!
