The RGJ ran an article describing the October 19 meeting at Somersett. In the third paragraph of the October 20 RGJ article, I think the proposal being described ($37 or $15 per month) is actually the Rowland proposal not the McCutcheon proposal (as the article states).

Mike Mazzafferri is contacting Dave Aiazzi to get the more information. We will set up a meeting as soon as we know this required information. Please print and distribute this letter until we know what action to take next.
