In your first sentence, you describe upcoming meetings as “public hearings”. The MBTA, via its website at http://www.mbta.com/about_the_mbta/?id=23567 and other locations, has described only the event of January 23 at 1pm as an official Public Hearing, and other events as “meetings”. Could you describe the difference, and correct your statement if appropriate? Thanks much. ————————————————————————- All meetings/hearings are open to the public, attendance encouraged, presentation made followed by audience comments.
