I have found it extremely useful to communicate and receive almost immediate feed back while they are debating. I hope to see more of this in the future.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-76958038193019532752011-01-16T09:28:42.422-07:002011-01-16T09:28:42.422-07:00HI Red - working for a municipality (which I do) I...HI Red - working for a municipality (which I do) I can totally relate to the issues that surround budget time..Everyone thinks they deserve a piece of the public pie...and in truth, I suppose that's correct, but the need to priorize and to choose community issues that deserve funding can only happen when Council commits to work with the public and to develop, and adopt, a strategic plan that becomes the road map. That in itself is a huge project - but absolutely necessary in a "great" community! I wish Red Deer good luck and good planning!Susan Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155106135649887676noreply@blogger.com
