Mike, that's really interesting. I suppose it boils down to three possible explanations: they can't, they won't, or they don't have anything to share.

I can't speak to which of these individually, or combination of them, are the reason ... but it does not bode well. Anything in the "can't" category would be something that points to ineffective communication message or methods. Given the money they spend on staff, one could rightfully ask what is all that money buying? Anything in the "won't" category would be something that points to leadership culture at Taj-Muncie; the unwashed masses aren't important enough to be kept informed. And anything in the "don't have anything to share" to me would point to effectiveness, or lack of it, in the efforts. We've all seen how EC members won't provide straight answers about exactly how many panels have been held, how many clubs have received altitude waivers (vs. how many have asked), and what those waivers were as compared to what they could do before or what LAANC allows. Similarly, in the government affairs "report," we see language that touts "multiple" panels held, but total absence of hard numbers. To me, this all points to exceptionally slow pace and/or lack of effectiveness (again for the $$ we pay for staff).
