Advisors debate target timing: early ambition versus feasible, non‑performative paths

Elizabeth and other members urged the county to explore bolder targets, including county‑wide net‑zero nearer 2040, and to highlight 'the art of the possible' so the plan surfaces high‑impact, politically ambitious options as well as feasible ones. Elizabeth said she was "so disappointed at what we're looking at here in terms of the challenge that's still ahead of us," calling for scenarios that show what a single major policy change (for example overturning Dillon Rule constraints) could yield.
