That's not a typo in the title. From viewing the threads, it appears, to me at least, that we judge elected officials and candidates based on who they're friends or enemies are, or what kind of demeanor or attitude they have. But, with this upcoming election and everyone's apparent desire for a positive change. I'm thinking that we should put more emphasis on "the what" it is that we want our elected officials to accomplish. If we, as individuals, identify what it is that we want City Council members to do, we have a better chance of identifying those candidates that will accomplish those things. Just a thought.
