Well, education can be diversified. We have students who thrive in the now Education system we have students that don't thrive in education system so we need to look at the education system and get more in tune to Creating an education system that meets our students needs We have to invest in our youth our youth is going to be the next generation That's going to be sitting in positions To make our community stronger The next issue that's very important to me is small businesses Small business in the city of Longmont has always been the life of this community We have to find a way as Longmont as the citizens as business owners To bring that life back to Longmont Small businesses in Longmont create so many opportunities one it generates a lot of tax dollars Secondly it brings jobs to Longmont those jobs in Longmont will have more people in the community spending money in the community and enjoying the city of Longmont as a whole third issue is affordable and attainable homes We need to spend the same amount of energy in affordable homes as we do in attainable homes If we put more energy in one and not the other we're leaving somebody out in the cold That's not what we want in the city of Longmont.
