Help our new mayor with his homework
Want to help Mayor-elect Michael McGinn get off on the right foot? Have some ideas for him on what he should do first, who should help him do it, and how he can build the public trust? Tell him.
McGinn wants help getting his homework done before he moves into city hall at the end of the month. He’s asked community leaders to help gather public responses to three key questions.
Here are McGinn’s questions:
- How do we build the strongest possible team to achieve the policy objectives and values set forth during Mike’s campaign?
- How do we build public trust in the new administration?
- What do you view as the incoming administration and the city’s greatest challenge – what should we do first out of the gate?
Great City has a handy-dandy form online where you can submit your answers directly.
McGinn said at a CityClub panel in March (before officially announcing his candidacy for mayor) that he thinks the recession provides Seattle with a few years of breathing space, not only to prepare for the next wave of growth, but to make sure the city remains a place people want to live.
“The problem of people wanting to live here is a good one,” he said. “I think we’re smart enough to build smart places, we just need to do it.”
