It's more than a little frustrating watching engineers take advantage of the fact that Conservation Commissioners (volunteers) seldom understand the issues being brought before them. I think there are solutions to this problem. One would be for the commissioners to demand that their full-time conservation agent provide them with the relevant information and facts for each case before the meeting. (They are supposed to do this, but Pittsfield's almost never does.) This would allow them to be better prepared for discussions. Also, they should be more willing to continue hearings until their next meeting if they don't understand or if they have unanswered questions. These issues are too important to rush through if you don't really understand them. Bruce Thanks, Rene.

And unfortunately, it doesn't suprise me with the Pittsfield conservation commission either. They commonly have projects come before them that are way over their heads. Thanks Bruce for this. Watch those bums and keep up the good work! Wow, doesn’t really suprise me with Mr. Scalise. he has pulled shady stuff before and gotten away with it.
