I submitted written testimony for the record because the issues I am raising are system-level and not tied to a single agenda item. My intent is not to allege violations or criticize compliance, but to ask the Committee to consider whether our transparency and participation systems function as well for residents in practice as they do on paper—particularly for long-running, high-impact matters that span years, committees, and departments. The written testimony provides context and concrete examples that are difficult to convey orally, and I respectfully submit it to support thoughtful discussion rather than immediate action.
