Or to Candidates for treasurer, does there need to be any change?

City Council: Politicians are often a lot of talk during the campaign season and offer no real change. I’d like to see change–not necessarily strategic change, but I’d like to see a revitalization of engagement and methodology if nothing else. What do you plan to do differently than your predecessors? If you’re an incumbent, what do you plan to do differently than in your previous terms?

City Council: What’s your vision of Harrisonburg in 5, 10, 20 years?

Treasurer: How would you feel about this possibly not being an elected position in the future?

Treasurer: How do you plan to save me money?

Treasurer: How would you like to see the office change in the future?

Both: What sort of legacy would you like to leave?

Brian, while I value that very kind of service I do not value it above teacher/police/administration pay increases, staffing increases, and revitalization efforts. I would hypothesize that these “upgrades” decrease efficiency in the departments of billing and registration because of the infrastructure required. It would be interesting to research this to see if my hypothesis is valid.

Another good question… what is the vision of candidates for the technological future of the City and when can citizens expect to have access online to services commonly found in other Cities of our size. (i.e. pay water or electric bills, register for new water service, register for classes offered by Parks and Recreation)

I would like to hear from the Candidates where they feel the greatest underfunded needs to the City’s infrastructure lie and what they foresee as a viable solution to correct those problems.

(A timetable would also be beneficial. Although I am sure that it would be easy to simply say that they would need to look into the problem deeper and not provide one. A goal at the very least would be nice.)

Thanks Charlie. That seems like a rationale stance on this issue.
