Here is a list of issues that I am interested in. Some of them are about how local and regional governments run and others will affect your tax bill and yet others are about equity and fairness. Please send me comments and/or questions on any of them or suggest other issues that you would like to know about. I’ll spend some time commenting on some of these in the coming weeks. Let me know which you would like to hear more about.
