“Presented” is pretty generous. On the one hand the E option was covered in about 10 minutes, with confused details, few specifics, offers of things like “none of this will actually be built” and “we can add that parcel in if needed”, as if it’s some throwaway, and half of the presentation came fro

Checking PB and Select meetings and reading minutes and mailings informs us that all the D options are also compliant. Option E is also compliant-the state model is publicly available so that anyone can review and use it. You simply plug in publicly available numbers. Yes, it takes work, and bei
