City Council report card
Scoop is starting on a mid-term report on council members.
We'll sit down with all of them in the next few days to talk about what they've accomplished so far, and what their plans are.
Things we'll be asking council members:
-- Did you live up to your campaign promises?
-- What did you not get done that you wanted to do?
-- What’s the most important thing to do for the rest of the term?
-- Will you be running again?
What are you, the voters, thinking about their performance thus far? What have they done that impressed you? What ticked you off? What do they need to put on their to-do lists?
