Making Pecos A Better Town

You might have heard recently that the United States Trust Fund is currently experiencing a solvency issue due to an increased cost associated with financing road projects. The members of the United States Congress, as well as numerous other influential leaders, have been discussing means of addressing this “broken” Highway Trust Fund. This issue has been consistently thrown on the back burner for some time and due to this procrastination an issue that would have been an easy fix a few years ago has now ballooned into a much larger issue. Lately it seems like every time I turn on the news I have seen news reports of bridges collapsing and pot holes getting worse, it scary to think that I will one day have children driving on these roads if

When an individual has lived in and around an area such as New Orleans, La, the majority of their lives, it is hard to imagine an area with roads that are just as bad as, if not worse, as those in the city of New Orleans. With countless potholes, crumbling pavement and sink holes popping up here and there, there is no way the streets could be that bad anywhere else. That is the mentality that one has until the venture out to other cities such as Toledo. According to an article published in the Toledo Blade on June 19,2015 by Tom Troy, Toledo’s roads are the second worst in the state of Ohio. With the poor road conditions and constant road constructions, comes a number of problems for the city’s residents. People are forced to spend countless

The condition of our roads the past couple summers has been pretty poor. Many of the main streets are filled with large pot holes and loose

We live on dirt roads, which don't have many cars on it. one way to improve the roads would be to trim trees and trim areas around intersections, so you could see better. Another improvement would be to have the potholes filled in.

We must commit to doing a better job engaging our citizenry in the political process by embracing and investing in a strong civil infrastructure — where our residents are provided the opportunity to use their voices to help shape and define the future identity of our city.

The phoenix area is not just a single city, but a patchwork of more than 20 separate municipalities, each with its own goals and challenges. As such, nothing can be efficiently accomplished in this region in a piecemeal fashion, city by city. The regional body, in this case, the Maricopa Association of Governments, would prove essential in implementing any kind of large-scale plan. The many cities in the region need to work together and bring their own strengths to the table, while helping to address the weaknesses that other municipalities may face. While undertaking what would undoubtedly be a long and difficult process, the region needs to observe what other similar regions around the world have done – and build upon it. Being a late bloomer, Phoenix has untapped potential to learn from other regions and not repeat costly mistakes. Learning from these places, the region could perhaps be in the best possible place to write effective policy, while making sure that all needs are

Anderson like most places has its own problems, what’s different about Anderson is that I live here. In my seventeen years of living in Anderson, Indiana I’ve noticed that a substantial amount of things has changed. One thing that I have recognized most is the deterioration of businesses and lack of support for smaller businesses. Stores are closing left and right, and the small mom and pop shops are struggling to survive. This problem that Anderson is facing is not just the people's fault, it’s some of the businesses fault as well. Our relationship with Anderson is a two way street, if we want to make this place better we need to work together as a community and push Anderson forward.

Having been a city public service employee for over 37 years, I have gained an understanding of the complexities of the work required by dedicated public servants. As a resident of Miami Gardens for 38 years, I have worked to affect positive change in Miami Gardens in my role as a Girl Scout troop leader and mentor for the last three decades. I have also kept myself abreast of the issues and concerns our city faces by attending city council meetings regularly. As a resident, I have long been concerned about the blight in our community and I have decided to seek elected office to tackle the issues that plague our community. I believe Miami Gardens has come a long way and with more progressive action and community-based programs, we will be able to make even more progress.

Alpena, a ‘warm and friendly port’. That motto could almost make you think that Alpena is something out of the 1950s: Everybody knows one another, smiles all around, and constantly nice weather. But in reality, our city is nothing like that. If we had the opportunity to change our city to something more… warm and friendly… what could be done?
