- Vibrant economy
Did you feel anything important is missing from the strategy? If so, please explain.

I am assuming vibrant means more jobs for our people.
Do you have any additional comments about the strategy you’d like to share with City staff?

Bring jobs into our city. We no longer have many companies, business that at one time made our city diverse, progressive and vibrant; The business that made Lawrence are gone-example; Kansas Color Press, Farmland, Journal-World printing their own paper, we have no furniture stores-forcing people to go to Kansas City to Nebraska Furniture Mart s, or Sears, or JC Penny, no local lumber yards. Given the current climate, I am surprised that Lawrence Paper Co. is still going along with FMC plant in North Lawrence-

What is a disruptive statement?

A statement

containing personal attacks, profanity, commercial advertising or content which is entirely off-topic, and/or
from a user who has falsified their registration information with the intent to post multiple statements in one topic or to misrepresent their city of residence.

Why does Open Town Hall monitor for disruptive statements?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company dedicated to building public trust in government and broadening civic engagement. Many people will not participate if the forum has disruptive statements.

Does Open Town Hall find many disruptive statements?

No. Disruptive statements are quite rare - less than one in a thousand statements are disruptive.

What does Open Town Hall do if they find a disruptive statement?

Open Town Hall

moves the statement to a different web page,
describes the problem in an email to the author, and
invites the author to change the statement.

Does Open Town Hall ever edit or delete statements?

Never. Only the statement's author can edit or delete a statement.

If I disagree with someone, can I post my opinion?

Yes. Open Town Hall encourages open dialog which, by necessity, includes disagreements.

How do I know if my statement is a 'disagreement' or a 'personal attack'?

Personal attacks are disparaging remarks which impute motives to a person's action. Statements of fact, or of your own opinion are generally not personal attacks.
Here are some examples of statements which are, and are not, personal attacks.

Personal Attack	Not A Personal Attack
He lied.	He said he did X, but in fact he did Y.
She misrepresented the truth.	I don't trust her.
He is greedy.	He is making plenty of money.
It is merely a power play on her part.	She will announce her candidacy soon.

We’d like to hear your feedback on the major findings of the Economic Development strategy recommendations.
