Hear Ye, Hear Ye, The Elections are Coming, The Elections are Coming!
Many of our neighborhoods have common needs many have specific needs.
What is at stake is the quality of life for all of us.

CONA has held candidate forums for all the City Council Seats. The front runners for the primary (happening as I type) all support reinstating the neighborhood grants program, strengthening Codes Enforcement and investigating the use of civil citations to reduce crime recidivism and the unintended financial drain on our economy caused by criminal records for common minor infractions, they all have significant leads in the polls over their competitors.
The two mayoral candidates appear to be split on these issues one for, one against.

CONA does not endorse candidates but we do take up issues that affect one or all of us.
During the September meeting (date time above) I would like to have an open discussion about what we need our city to do better and then communicate those needs to the people that want us to vote for them.
So Neighborhood presidents please aggregate all your City concerns and bring them or send them with your authorized representative to this very important meeting.
I Look Forward to seeing EVERYONE There (Open to Public)!
Also a Public Safety Note: in advance of the general meeting on Saturday September 14th at 11:00am we will have a joint CONA – NAACP Public Safety Meeting location TBD
