That response letter was useless.It’s am insult to our collective intelligence. They grossly underestimate our intellectual prowess and how hard we will fight them.

Way to beat around the bush, but we should all expect as much considering how this has all played out with zero regard to the tax paying residents who should have the loudest voice of all.
