My involvement in local politics will only grow!

- Have gotten increasingly active in local groups keeping track of politics and meddling.
- Attended public hearings, read agendas, understood them in context, asked clarifying questions.
- Get mad at how politics at the city level is so captured, democracy so compromised. Have told friends about the importance of local political engagement.
- Will 'formalize' and 'organize' my understanding and vision in these pages. Understand what is lacking in my planning and iterate until my vision is clear, path more solid.
- If nothing else, this helps me pass time and build a sample portfolio. Understanding complex, hard issues and attempting to bring about change is so fun!
- Might shape involvement in actual politics in the future too! Pie in the sky!
- It's so frustrating and blood-boiling, but one cannot win by exiting the arena!
