Open dialogue between the mayor and the people of Omaha
I challenge the next mayor of Omaha to keep an open dialogue between the office of mayor and the people of Omaha. But instead of an exchange of campaign-style rhetoric from the mayor and a laundry list of beefs from the constituency, I would love to see things along the lines of a series of small-group coffees with representatives from different sectors and interests; a Mayoral Blog so that children and teens can get a sense of the day-to-day duties of the mayor; or some kind of an Omaha storytelling project, where the wisdom and community memory of older generations can be saved for future generations to improve upon. Creating these connections among people and leaders can enrich the discourse of the entire community.
