Fracking, Round 2
There are two questions I get most often from people when they learn that I’m a member of Cary Town Council.
- How much time does it take? (I haven’t figured that out, yet.)
- How different is working on council than in the private sector? Now that’s a harder question.
Normally, my answer is that I’m surprised how much longer things take in the Public Sector. Not because there aren’t good people – in fact, quite the opposite. But, if you can imagine doing your whole job, where just about every decision you make is out in the open, that just takes more time. Also, because you and I and all citizens have the right to ask questions, provide feedback and input, and need to be informed – that can lengthen the process.
