consensus on membership issues involved with a restoration planning effort", Marshall Staunton, agricultural member and co-chair of the Upper Klamath Basin Working Group said Friday."
"In October, we reached consensus on the specific geography included in the Restoration Plan"."

Guys, DAMN!! But, I have come to hate the word "consensus"!! It means the "Democratic" vote of a FEW select "elite" is the guiding FORCE behind this or that proposed legislation, rules, or other controlling mechanisms whether legitimate or not. And, the groups, generally {if not always} are stacked with crazy people who think they know best how EVERYBODY should live. SOCIALISM!!!! The word does the "politburo" proud. HOW do we get documentation on the things that have been "consensused" such as "the goals and objectives ", and membership issues involved with a restoration planning effort? Peace and love, George
If there are stakeholders in the meeting making policy,then watch out. People with no legal authority to make any policy decisions or laws come into these meetings. They call themselves stakeholders and often hornswoggle landowners and local citizens into thinking they have some right to influence the decision. Well they DON'T so DON'T let them! Often they get in there, influence the outcome of things and the landowner is left wondering what happened! They can talk all they want, but they have NO LEGAL RIGHT to make policy or influence decisions on local planning issues. ONLY THE PROPERTY OWNERS, VOTERS AND LOCAL CITIZENS HAVE THAT RIGHT!
INSIST THAT YOUR CONSTITUIONAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT BE UPHELD. INSIST THAT GOVERNMENT POLICY BE DECIDED BETWEEN THE LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE AND CONSTITUENTS THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND THE BALLOT BOX.
Local counties and cities can stand up to the federal government and refuse to adopt their policies. It says so IN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
