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 /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4892521033335507537-3144954421265524668?l=commonground-longmont.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jsingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12240309242976543086noreply@blogger.com12
