Lakewood residents BEWARE! If you see an announcement that states ” a public hearing will be held” and in the later remarks states ” attendance by members of the public is NOT permitted at this time.” One might say, is it essential to hold this important meeting now ? or could it be postponed until face to face comments / discussion can take place with concerned citizens? This should be a red flag to all that desire open government and public opinion.
The new wireless agenda has not satisfactorily addressed health concerns to date.
