As much as they can be 'a pain in the ass' people need to realize how much good gets done by CRMC as well, especially by the staff, not the council itself. The behind the scenes people ARE underfunded but have made great strides in things such as building regs on the south shore, dredging regs, habitat restoration to name a few. They have a dedicated ROW person in the staff who is interested in hearing from people who think they have legitimate gripes about an ROW. They also have paired with RISAA and others for the adopt a ROW program... just be careful painting an entire agency with such a broad brush based on hearsay, or limited bad personal dealings with them.
