Do you propose to continue and/or expand funding for our parks, the arts, entities like the Chapman Center or the HubBub? 2. What are your ideas to helping to encourage people to live and work in the downtown area? 3. Do you have any ideas to work at seeing renovation and eventual occupation to buildings such as the Montgomery building on Church street? 4. Do you have any ideas to work to improve our mass transit system, making it more cost/energy efficient and encouraging more use? 5. Do you have any ideas that you could implement for city services to help reduce operating costs? What are your thoughts on reducing electricity use, like leaving fewer lights on when a room or building is not currently in use, expanding business paper recycling, finding ways to reduce fuel costs without disruption of service? I of course can’t vote for city council, but here’s some questions anyway.

Would you support measures to halt current programs that give preference to individuals or companies based on their sex,race, or tax status? I'll leave it at that for now. 1.
