“I liked that analogy. It wasn't. So I just think that, you know, we're here in that stage now that it feels like we're getting some information. And I think that I saw that the staff recommendation was to kind of just to push this through so that changes could be made later. But I just struggle with that, that I question whether those changes will be made or whether or not the answer will be, hey, you had your chance for input.
