Informed. Fearless. Creative. Leadership.
Smarter spending
Everybody wants to keep our property taxes low. There are several ways we can be wiser about our money.
Easier access to services
It’s a hassle just to pay your water bill, let alone monitor the city council. There are 21st-century solutions we can leverage.
Modernized public safety
90% of police calls are not related to crime. We can explore community services that can address those needs.
Healthier spaces
City life is stressful enough. We can improve public health and the environment in simple ways.
Thriving local businesses
The economy is fragile. There are creative ways to keep companies open, and to attract new employers.
