Decatur is partnering with Peak Democracy and the Alliance for Innovation to be a pilot site for this program which allows public participation without having to attend a public meeting.  Be one of the first to give your opinion online and read what others have to say.  If you change your mind, you can always go back in and change your viewpoint.
