Last Night's Transition Team Public Speak-Out

Last nights Transition Team Public Speak-Out will be rebroadcast on Dec. 18-20, 12:30 pm and on
Dec. 20 at 8pm. It was an interesting evening and I will likely post more on this later, but first I want to hear your thoughts on it. What did you think of the speak out? What issues do you think the county needs to address? What organizational or staff changes are needed in county government? Do any county government components need specific new equipment or new facilities? I testified among other things that I thought the Department of Planning and Zoning needed more staff if they were going to deal with the redevelopment of Downtown Columbia, Rt. 1, and Rt. 40 all at once and I also testified that the Department of Planning and Zoning needs a scanner capable of putting all plans under review online.

Also if you missed the Speak-Out, but wish to submit your thoughts to the transition team you can email them to transitionteam@co.ho.md.us until December 22nd.
