text: It will not happen...“I have seen no evidence of a more communicative and more accountable HPD” during the time she’s been on the commission, she said. “What I’ve encountered thus far is far more a culture of secrecy.”
  
  Sheehan said that from what she understands, new commission members are supposed to receive an orientation with each division of the department to learn about its procedures, protocols and policies. “Despite six months of requests, I’ve never been privileged with an HPD orientation,” she said.
  
  Per the aforementioned,  it's not just Sheehan's opinion/experience, in my opinion, HPD is becoming community with a culture unto itself.  It's either you're in or you're out.  Hence, they conduct themselves in a manner as they find appropriate.  Perhaps we have the creation of a new party in the making or already here.  Sad.
