Co-chair Dan Hunt opened the public, open-discussion portion of the Consolidation and Cooperation Commission and turned the meeting to co-chair Senator Brownsberger. Chairs framed the session as a transition from a year of invited testimony toward putting concrete ideas on the table and producing recommendations for the legislature by the September report deadline. They noted systemwide population declines of roughly 40% and emphasized the commission’s role in proposing options (consensus or multiple recommendations).
