Like most of their work, it's rather amateurish. “Legal Writing Rarely Reaches This Level of Precision”

Over 400 public comments were submitted to the DNR on the proposed lease. The public favored granting the lease to Taylor Shellfish by a 2 – 1 margin. I guess that this doesn’t count as “public review and discussion” by the commissioner because he doesn’t agree with the public’s opinion.
