I'm ApexNerd, lets get back to the countdown of the goals of the Growth Management Act.
Number 4 on the priority countdown was placed in a virtual tie with goal #5 (Property Rights) by our Certified Priority Criteria.
Edging past Property Rights by less than one point on our Priority Index, Number 4 is...
Environmental Protection
The Language
"Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality, and the availability of water."
The Score
Priority Index: 122.9
The Reason
This goal clearly comes into play in all jurisdictions, and has a direct impact on every citizen.
The imperative language of this goal "protect" and "enhance" were enough to place Environment in a virtual tie with Property Rights.
So, what was it that caused Environment to win the tie-breaker? Did I flip a coin until Environment won?
We will reveal the Certified Priority Criteria at the end of our Countdown...
Stay tuned... number 3 is next...
