Even though I support Representative Kahn's and Representative Wagenius actions on this bill, I would like to point out that although these actions attempt to make neighborhood organizations more democratic, they have little meaning if there is no accountability. The bill should include the right of residents to sue if NRP contractors are in violation and they should be able to recover legal fees. And, the NRP still needs some type of functional grievance policy.
