Remarks are generally limited to 3 minutes. 1. State your name and address. 2. Organization you represent, if any. 3. State whether for or against the proposal. Your statement should include all pertinent facts within your knowledge; avoid gossip, emotion and repetition. It is important to discuss only those matters relating to the hearing and to tie your discussion of the facts directly to the decision you wish the Commission to reach. A clear, concise and non-repetitive argument is impressive. Page 2 of 2
