That would be a great project and learning experience at the same time.
I'd start with the commission.

First, he would need to do some research and then put the findings into a 3 minute or less testimony to be brought up in front of the commission during public input at one of the public meetings. Pick a few commissioners and the director to talk to at these meetings and get their take on the current situation. I haven’t seen the commission take up this issue in quite awhile. There will be support if the commission is willing to look at this issue again.

Good Luck!
