Government, like any other sector of our community, must care enough about its clients - our citizenry, to keep up with technological advancements and other measures to increase efficiency and productivity. Atlanta taxpayers should receive a full return on their taxes through the efficient delivery of basic city services. The Government's work is public service!

To provide increased efficiency to handle citizen's problems, I propose an integrated city wide database and information services system that would allow departments to talk electronically with one another, especially when there is dual purview, and allow citizens to access city information on-line and submit, update and check the status of concerns and complaints electronically. To allow for full public access, touchscreen kiosks providing electronic city information and interaction would be available at public libraries, malls and local government buildings.

Understanding the hurdles and frustrations of trying to get problems resolved inside by government, seven years ago, I instituted an annual city fair exhibition. At the annual City Fair and routine town hall meetings, citizens were able to speak directly with decision-makers in all City departments to address their neighborhood concerns. As president, I would continue and expand upon these educational and direct service forums in every sector of our city.
