Suggestions from our initial Change is Coming event in Kingston:
Too many State police around the reservoir & they’re too eager to arrest, & DEP police – why?
Maurice Hincey for Senate –
some prefer he stays in House of Rep
Single payer/universal health care
trauma training for firemen & police
better education for children with special learning needs (make the state pay for its own mandate)
co-ordination of non-profits (so they don’t compete for funding) … maybe a database
Do work with kids & teens to get them involved with the arts, communnity – before they get involved with “other” things
Encourage responsible development. Stop dismissing developers out of hand. We need the jobs and vitality associated with responsible development
less sprawl
revitalize all HV cities!!
Reclaim industrial and loft space (rather then sprawl)
Affordable housing
