Unfortunately not everyone has the time to spare.
(Not making excuses, just stating a common fact.)
I always get a charge out of reports of poor meeting turnouts for "important" topics when the powers-that-be schedule these meetings at times when people are either commuting from work, still at work or can't spare the time because of commitments at home (kids, daycare, etc).
I wonder what kind of turnout would be had if a meeting was held on a Saturday afternoon? (Can't be Sunday 'cause football is on).
Here it is , 6:50 pm and I'm just finishing at work.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the idea of these townhall meetings, just commenting on the timing aspect.
