<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Josh,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you and your family are doing well. Are your kids back in school? We pulled Elliot from the district last fall and homeschooling has actually been going really well. We will be glad to get things back to “normal” next fall though.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if DLCD has taken a position on the changes described below. I see the changes impacting Oregon in ways that are not intended and in ways that other states may not experience, given our unique topography and land use regulations.
I am reviewing the changes to submit comments to Karl for his review but it has been my experience that the US Census has little interest in the thoughts of a small-time functionary like myself
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> If any state agencies have prepared a formal critique of the changes, I would be very interested to learn from those critiques, echo support where appropriate, and perhaps be better prepared to
meet the challenges such changes may present to transportation and other programs. I’ll be reaching out to the state geospatial office for comments as well as ODOT but if you can think of others to connect with, I’d appreciate the information.<o:p></o:p></p>
