I'm ApexNerd, lets get back to the countdown of the goals of the Growth Management Act.
Number 6 on the priority countdown is...
Citizen Participation and Coordination
The Language
"Encourage the involvement of citizens in the planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts."
The Score
Priority Index: 108.1
The Reason
This goal clearly comes into play in all jurisdictions, and has a direct impact on every citizen.
While the weasel word "encourage" would have normally kept this goal nearer to the bottom of the Countdown, the presence of the imperative word "ensure" sent it here.
Which goal will come in at #5 on our Countdown?
Stay tuned...
