The new version is at https://engagedurham.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Revised-Community-Goals-and-Objectives.pdf.  I haven't had a chance to do more than see that the document is in a new format, that they moved some sections around and that a lot of my concerns about the environmental section weren't addressed.  The table of contents at the left is useful in finding sections you might care about to comment on.

There's the great line that one person telling government something is a crank, 2 people saying the same thing is a conspiracy, and about 5 makes a movement.  Since I would really rather not be a crank, I hope others will sign up to speak, saying we need to move beyond generalities about transparency and engagement to a commitment to the resources for real community empowerment, as discussed in the INC comment to the original draft (along with any comments you might want to make about other issues that are important to you).

thanks, pat
