Biggest needs on our city:
Needs:
1. City-wide beautification (helps all of the below)
2. Continued improvement of our schools above and beyond MAPS for Kids
3. Continued appropriate funding for our police and fire depts.
4. Continued expansion of our public library system
5. Continued work on luring high-paying jobs to the metro
6. Continued improvement of our inner city with city-help.
7. Continued improvements at the fairgrounds (the return on this investment is huge).
Items that have been listed that are neat but that we have no use for at the moment, and would only drain money away from the above areas:
1. NFL football stadiums
2. 60 gate airports
3. lengthened canal
4. commuter rail
5. Symbols like huge Native American statues or oil
towers
6. Helping private companies who can otherwise fund
their own construction
