Sean, today you wrote "In Charlottesville, public comment can dominate meetings as professional campaigns provide talking points. In Cumberland County, public comment is restricted to what’s on the current agenda. In Lynchburg, you have to tell the Council Clerk in advance what you want to say". Are you saying in Charlottesville,public comment is essentially unrestricted, but in Cumberland County, it's restricted to what's on the agenda, and in Lynchburg you cannot make a pubic comment unless the Council Clerk approves what you want to say? If so, it sounds to be like both Cumberland County and Lynchburg have some freedom of speech limitations....I I'm wrong, please tell me so! -- Helen Plaisance
