(See www.seattle.gov/mayor/climate) Best of luck! p.s. My web site has a gallery of large solar-powered buildings. If you have a minute, I invite you to take a look at what some other cities are doing with solar power. http://www.geocities.com/bkausen Maybe Steve would like to run for Mayor, then we could join the U.S. Conference of Mayors for Climate Protection and sign on to the Agreement.

We will continue to post new ideas, reports from other cities, skewers of local politicians, and local news that is overlooked by the mainstream media. In fact, watch later next week as I post a contribution map comparison between Karin Uhlich's contributors and Kathleen Dunbar's contributors to match the Farley/Ronstadt comparison. I'm also more able to touch some purported political third-rails as a non-candidate. I'm looking at a Third Rail of the Week feature to highlight a major new policy idea formerly considered too dangerous to discuss. Perhaps that way, we'll be able to bring some good ideas into the realm of politically possible down the line. Stay tuned. I've been a community activist for the past six years, and I will be the same for the foreseeable future. Would have been nice to have a council vote to go along with that, but I know that I can effect policy change from outside government as well, and I fully intend to do that. That may well start with a fresh initative drive for ward-only elections and a March primary/May general election schedule to avoid our Sonoran summers and increase turnout...

I think that your voice is an important one in Tucson and that your blog is a great way to reach our to the community and get your views heard. Please don't close up shop as so many former candidates do. Steve, I hope you keep this website in operation.
