Other business
  • Ben Carter project idea - KEJC frequently asks public to comment on regulation changes and would like to create a website to track comments and submit them, allows KEJC to tag commenters, makes commenting easier, similar to ResistBot it could create form letters. Other groups may use this kind of site as well.
