SOMbike's Kate Cahill Runs for Town Council!

Let's Shake Things Up! Tomorrow is the election - Kate is a write-in candidate. Here's is a brief statement from Kate:

For being a small town, I see an awful lot of gridlock here - we should be quick, agile and responsive and pride ourselves on that!

It is critical is to improve the efficiencies around how Maplewood is governed - by adding clarity, accountability and transparency and inclusiveness to the functions of our all of our governing committees. To that end, we should examine our structure and consider if is this the ideal approach for today's challenging times. Navigating the local government structure is needlessly cumbersome and time consuming. Can we make our all of our committees, who can play a tremendously vital role, work in a more integrated fashion, communicate better, and in doing so, be more open and responsive to the needs of our town? Without a doubt. There's little excuse with the technology available today to not have each and every committee member on the same page. Steps such as these cost little to no money, yet they can yield better input for planning and produce better decision making with significant results for the town.
