\"I just wrote a letter to the editor because I think that we need county commissioners, who will look at all of our property rights and not just the property rights of developers who are making big changes in our town,\" the speaker said, asking for commissioners who will review property-rights impacts in development decisions.

The same speaker also criticized broadcast coverage of environmental issues, saying corporate money often skews reporting and arguing for a program that would \"just give viewers the straight dope on issues, not necessarily have a left leaning angle or a right angle, just straight facts.\" The speaker suggested that more factual coverage would help people form balanced opinions.

The speaker did not give an ordinance number or an exact text change and used the phrase \"niche law ordinance,\" which was not identified further in the transcript. There is no record in the transcript of a motion, referral, or staff direction tied to the comment.

The speaker described past Critical Mass events in larger cities, saying they had drawn dozens of people in some places and that taking over streets during rush hour can be \"exciting\" and visible to the public.
