The Core of our campaign revolves around the goal of sustaining a happy, healthy, and thriving populace by returning to fundamental city services and strengthening the community. We also need to closely examine what the threat of a declining dollar (in terms of purchasing power) means to our local economy.
Reduce the size of government - focus on core fundamental services such as police, fire, water and basic city services. Rotate and/or reallocate affected staff to more productive, fulfilling jobs.
Halt new construction projects and stop falling down this “Affordable housing” rabbit hole. New multi-family zoning requires massive city infrastructure spending, and perpetuates this debt cycle which extracts wealth from the lower and middle class.. We do not need to grow our population/tax base to cover expansion - we should stop expanding and focus on bolstering the existing community and infrastructure.
If we shrink the government and costs associated with expansion then we should be able to shrink property taxes. This is the goal - to create affordable living for our residents. Disclaimer: This will very tough with a dying currency.
We want affordable living. We want to keep our existing residents by focusing on what they need. We do not want them priced out and leaving. The townies are our core. Listen to them.
They need a government well connected to them. More frequent, transparent, open discussion. Shouldn’t there be more open, more frequent, causal city gatherings, maybe town hall style, with all of the council members just hanging out making themselves available to the public conversation?
Streamline the bus service and encourage use. Stop sending big million dollar buses up and down the street to carry one person. This is a waste of energy. Why don’t we offer a smaller shuttle service that runs more frequently, more consistently so you don’t really even need a schedule? It’s so reliable and fun that we all want to ditch our vehicles and jump on the happy tram.
As the dollar erodes in value, discretionary spending will fall. So our downtown restaurant business could very well be taking a hit. If restaurants start closing we need an action plan to replace vacant store fronts. Lets think about what the community (not tourist) actually needs and encourage that - like low cost feeding solutions. I think it’s important to view our downtown as a community core where we all gather. A place of immunity.
Block the theft of the city, our wealth and your children’s future from outside corporations, the federal government and global institutions.
Prepare, provide for and preserve the community in the event of a currency collapse by investing in wealth preserving assets. Sustain a division of labor by retuning to a sound money system. Better start practicing this now and encouraging local business to use it. That would put optimism back into our youth’s eyes.
Secure clean water and maintain an organized division of labor that supports local farmers in order to feed our populace. We will need to bolster this pipeline.
Teach our children how to farm, engineer, build things, grow healthy and independent. Outlaw Tiktok.
Provide outdoor dance parties every month, downtown, outside city hall.
