Unfortunately, the aspect of holding public meeting is but a mere charade. As we have repeatedly seen lately on a number of issues, it all has very little to do with the "public" but instead pretty much solely has to do with what can be generated in the pursuit of self interest. Having public meetings does nothing but put the DNR in a no win situation. Especially when the NRC is likely to do whatever it wishes regardless of public input or DNR wishes. It borders on pure craziness to hold public meetings that when there is NO real definitive process outlined or apparently followed in regard to how proposed rules comes about, how various aspects of the proposed rules are dealt with, how "data" is meaningfully acquired and assessed and how the outcome of all this will be determined, other then the vote of a few people who seemingly don't even participate in the process. Just insane!!!!
