Community Comments on our recent efforts


Here are but a few of the comments we've received so far ...

I think the new web site is an inspirational model of just how to approach what it is the NCs can really do. Formulate the issues and provide a way for people to weigh in and include in the results all the diversity that invariably will be reflected.

Bring that down to the local NC playing field and set up on-going issue-polling efforts and report the full results, not just which point of view got the "winning" number of supporters. Winning in the NC world is when every possible person's "say" is included and quantified in reporting the results.

And, that would be of greater value to LA city government than individual NCs weighing in with just a single point of view. As purveyors of the grass roots voice, the NCs are more like market researchers collecting the information that represents the thoughts, feelings and will of the stakeholder constituency. For the most part, it is up to the paid, elected officials, so to speak as the NCs' clients, to decide what to do with the information. That is not to say that when there is clearly a consensus, that the NCs will not or cannot apply influence and, in affect, make their will inescapable.
