Friends I love the new Community Center concept, but the line below caughts my attention. The CCBC is aiming for maximum transparency, welcomes all input and questions, and will make every effort to solicit, hear, and address the priorities, values and concerns of Lincoln residents. How much does "maximum" digress from "full"? Any explanation would be useful to a poor tax-payer. Regards, Bijoy Misra
