  • Of the top five topics you rated highest, why are these important to you?
    • The city has deaf ears with the protests against light rail.
    • Off shore energy should be developed. Wind-natural gas- oil. It would expand the economy for citizens as well as increase business for city's commercial tax base.
    • In recent years there has been an avoidance of holiday displays on Mt Trashmore. Are some groups targeted to be "PC"??
    • Bus routes need to be reviewed for needs of population and put aside needless project such as light rail.
  • If not listed above, what topics would you like to see discussed?
    • Better maintenance of parks, medians, city spaces.
    • Review of taxes with "bundled utilities/services" being too high; i.e. Water
