• <br /> f .A good commission has the power to command public <br /> attention.Therefore the objective recommendations it sends <br /> up to the elected officials have the power to forestall arbitrary, <br /> capricious,and ad hoc decision making being covered up with <br /> rhetoric and double talk. It is extremely important to keep in <br /> i mind that the commission's one real source of power stems <br /> from the requirement that the legislative body must seek its <br /> advice.To the extent that this advice is logical, clear, and well <br /> thought out, it will bear witness in public against other actions <br /> that would allow expediency and special privilege to rule. <br /> In most states,the existence of a planning commission is a <br /> matter of law. None of these laws insures that a planning <br /> commission will be worthwhile.Only the people who become <br /> planning commissioners can do this. <br /> 411 <br /> t <br /> Ii <br /> f: I <br /> 8 <br /> 410 <br /> - w <br />
