GALLATIN NEWS - The proposed change, if approved, would limit public comments to two minutes and would also require speakers to sign up before each meeting if they wanted to address commissioners. “What it controls is when we’ve done public comment on contentious items (and we’ve had) more and more people at the last minute deciding to get up and talk and essentially say the same thing that we’ve already heard,” Gallatin Planning Commission Vice Chairman Matt Harris said about the proposed changes during a meeting on Sept. 27.
