Oh man. I’m sorry.

Yeah, a petition might be your best bet. Another option is sending written testimony to the House and Senate about the legislation. You may not be able to get your rep/senator to vote the way you’d like, but it would get your point across to the other folks on the committee.

ETA: town council? A lot of zoning issues are enacted at the local level. The more granular the level of govt, the more reactive they usually are to feedback.

Yeah, I’ve been up to the state house a few times to give public testimony… good times. I have good rapport with other members of the GA… it’s just hard when your elected officials are… the way they are. I have a good rapport with the town council… and tbh I think there may be an OMA violation with how it was handled in foster… we will see.

Yeah, doing public testimony is a pain, but you can do written too. And yeah, that does suck. Do they win by a significant margin? Other option is running someone against them.
