Hmm... and said person/project might do well to be in close contact with |
| 23 |
the council (maybe even /on/ the council) as well... which fits in rather |
| 24 |
nicely with the council election season coming up... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Talking about which, those considering running for council may wish to |
| 27 |
pay special attention to the current series of project status updates as |
| 28 |
well, with an eye toward any actions that may be needed to help out |
| 29 |
particular projects, and/or revive/close/merge others. |
