I would expand our current open request system and allow the citizens easier access to answers about the questions they may have in the community. I would also put in place mandatory town hall meetings every 60 days in order to make sure our citizens have up to date information from the individuals that they have elected as there voice.

Do you believe public access to public records is sufficient in your jurisdiction and, if not, what steps do you support to remedy that?

No I do not believe it is sufficient. It is to many hurdles the citizens have to jump through in order to access public records. We need to use our current technology to our advantage and create a stream line website/app that would allow the citizens to register and once identity is confirmed it would give you direct access to public records.
