Hopefully the work being done by Chris Jenkins and his group – Steve Bartolin and his group – and Lorne Kramer and his group will all get together and talk every not and then to come up with a common game plan for the community that considers:

A: the kind of city government that is needed ie: City Manager of Strong Mayor,
B: what level of service can be afforded by a tax averse population,
C: how best to achieve a local single government combining city and county,

and then,

a qualified board of advisors consisting of accountants, engineers, municipal finance experts and human resources experts who can coordinate the new combined government and the activities of the related ‘do-good’ groups who seem to be stepping all over each other to grab the limelight about attracting questionable companies to the region. People who are not elected and looking toward the next upcoming position they can run for. People who are here today and will be here tomorrow.

Guess that means the voters are going to have to do a little vetting?
