An
evaluator wrote:
"Mr. Mechur's expertise was a huge advantage in the land-use case,
and used it to great advantage to help set direction, but he always
left the outcome in the parties' own hands. As a result, whenever
he spoke, especially in the second of two extended sessions, everyone
listened with attention and respect." |
