PLANNED PROGRESS

*The twenty-two miles of scenic and historic riverfront should be used to benefit the city and the region generally.

*Job training now is the cheapest and wisest alternative to the cost of high crime rates, policing and legal actions later. A city-sponsored jobs program can provide such training, while also performing essential services.

*The city deserves a version of the Philadelphia Wireless initiative to provide high speed, cheap internet service to the entire community. We should collaborate with local companies like Cincinnati Bell, striving to find a way to provide this service in a manner that is profitable to everyone.

*We wish to establish commissions to address the issues that face us -- unemployment, crime, racism, drugs. The top-down solutions of the past have failed, so let us attempt a civic and civil dialogue. These commissions should hold hearings in the neighborhoods of the city, formulate alternatives, and make recommendations.
