Economic Development, including fostering growth in higher-wage jobs and realization of long-delayed downtown development — We need to work together, more inclusively than we have in our recent past with all of the multiple stakeholders to vet the best possible developments for our downtown and other areas of the county using broader discussion in the open/available to the public, and transparent decision-making instead of the backroom deals that exploit taxpayer money to reward a very few.
I do not agree with many aspects of the process used recently to advance these projects. We need more transparency and broader participation as they develop conceptually. We need to require more safeguarding of taxpayer’s money including a better return of cash and other benefits to the public for each dollar spent by the city -- and we must have closer examination and earlier, and more public, disclosure on exactly who benefits from any city money allocated.
