Officials from a number of towns have objected to the methods used to glean the numbers. <br /> <br /> Although COAH accepted comments from municipalities on the proposed rules until March 22 — and Regional Planning Director Lee Solow sent a letter highlighting concerns — Ms. McKenzie said she doesn’t expect “to see significant changes in the rules between now and times that they’re adopted.” <br />... <br /><a href="http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/03/28/the_princeton_packet/news/doc47ec41f9c22d3783589850.prt" target="_blank">http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/03/28/the_princeton_packet/news/doc47ec41f9c22d3783589850.prt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
