Subject:                                     please extend comment period for changes to RPS Class 1 and 2 regulations

 

Dear Mr. Judge and Mr. Wassam,

 

We spoke after the Amherst hearing on proposed DOER changes to the RPS Class I and II regulations last month. 

 

I respectfully request that the comment period for changes to the regulations be extended for another 30 days, to July 7, 2019, to allow for additional time for public comment. Affected members of the public are just starting to hear about this issue, and I believe that the existing comment period does not allow adequate time for people to both educate themselves on this complex issue and to submit testimony.

 

The Springfield hearing happened only this week, which is how many citizens heard about the proposed changes in the first place. In the interest of civic engagement, I ask that you extend the deadline to allow more stakeholders an opportunity to comment.

 

Thank you for your consideration.



Sincerely,



Nancy Grossman
