</div><div><br />
</div>The idea behind this blog is to create a space where people can post their ideas about how to better the Longmont Community.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>After numerous individuals came forward complaining about divisiveness and/or incivility in Longmont, I figured it was time to create a forum for people to talk about ideas without making it personal. <br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>The "divided" City Council has been unanimous on many issues. This does not make for exciting news reporting. However, it's probably good for the citizens.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Maybe there are other issues that citizens can create unanimity around and pass up to our leaders.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I hope that people will not use this blog for scoring political points, rather I hope this is a place where people can ask genuine questions to produce sound policy for the City of Longmont.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><i>Disclosure: I am biased. I am a registered Democrat. And more than that I have previously been President of Longmont Area Democrats. But my community comes before Party affiliation. I hope that folks from across the spectrum will participate.</i> <br />
