I commend you on another great attempt to streamline the process. Unfortunately, I doubt very many sitting up their this evening understand the differences between what they have and what you were proposing... I think Mrs Bertolini put it best ... they have no intention of spending a dime on improving the process and have simply added a new task to the growing list held by Connie Barron. Thanks for trying !! Bruce Lloyd,

It's not over yet. I'll keep trying. It is unfortunate that they have a misconception about when money is spent. The reality is that they do spend money right now to answer the questions. That money is not obvious and out front, but it is spent. It is also spent much less efficiently than it could be. For instance, they provided a memo to Lynn Rosko tonight, which answered her question. They only posted a portion of the memo, because of space constraints. Those constraints are artificial and based solely upon the design of the formatting for the question/answer section in the website. A little knowledge goes a long way to save the City money. My next step will be a call to all November Candidates. Let's see where they stand on the issue of embracing the Internet for communicating with the residents. Thanks for the comment, Bruce.
