"This is all very personal for me, but it's also collective, and the two are not disconnected. I have never believed that you only advocate for the things that you stand for and embody. I've always believed that our liberation, my liberation, is tied up with yours. To make a Country , State or Town that works for me, there's gotta be a country, state and town that works for you as well."

I want to take a moment to THANK ALL THE PARTICIPANTS OF RAD.
This group will be ending there synopsis of meetings with important clips, meeting times and agendas published . These notices have assisted me greatly in trying to stay an active and concerned citizen.
They did not publish their opinions just information , they did not try and sway the dialogue in any way. They also remained neutral so we as citizens could make up our own mind.
We have excellent professional staff and many elected officials and non elected boards who give hours of time to research and make the best decisions in collaboration with professionals staff.
These boards stay in their own lanes and should never interfere with others. RAD made this possible.
To Karine Dalton and crew ... thank you for your time and expertise in designing this format...I will personally miss your efforts but totally understand how much work and time this took to inform us of the work being done! I so wish I had your skill set! Best wishes and Thanks!
