Here are some suggestions for a munincipality that can lead the way in progressive policy.Let's say this is Lawrence Kansas or Saratoga springs, N.Y.
1) garaunteed universal healthcare coverage for all citizens of munincipality.This would reduce the uninsured by hundreds of thousands in one swoop.
2)public transit that runs 24/7/365.this would reduce depency on cars and foreign oil and revitalize Main Street(aka Downtown) making it a destination that all would be welcome to and would want to come to.
3)Bike paths on streets and parks.this would lead to a healthier population.bicycling is one of the best exercises that a person can get.
4)business grants for entreprenuers.This would bring money and jobs to small towns by making my town a hub for all business,not just for certain sectors.I would make the grants easy to apply for and make them universally available for all sectors of labor not just for certain technologies.
5)provide seperate grants for artists of all kinds to build in my community.this will provide for art galleries,sculptures in parks,theater houses and much more.This would bring life into the community and would balance the ambience with those nice restaurants and bars in the Main Street sector.
Tell me what you guys think.
