Would it make sense to have you present on behalf of GREN in John's place and also have Susan B present on behalf of one of the other organizations we often represent (dandelions, water, Elmira chemicals, etc.). There are so many aspects of the environment, global warming, etc. that we can work LRT and sustainable, managed growth into.</div><div><br></div><div>I think Greg also made excellent points in his e-mail earlier today as well and it would be great to see him present as well somehow.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Kevin.</div><div><br><div>
