"Sam Liccardo"...he's now a Congressman from CA, but prior to that he was the two-term Mayor of San Jose, and performed well enough to get ~75% of the vote the second time around...can't do that w/o Rep and Ind voters. I bring him up because he's an excellent example of how a Dem Mayor can "Think Outside the Box" and get things done. You'll be connected to his website that has sections on "Homelessness", "Crime", "High Cost of Living", "Housing Affordability", and other topics...not slogans, but real world initiatives and rationales for new program ideas...check it out. Would definitely appreciate your thoughts and comments about that Dem's thinking...and performance.
