I've been soul searching as I begin to build this blog. My focal point of interest is: how do we get anything done in town without it devolving into a big "political" fight? How do we commission and build multiple public art pieces? How do we resolve a looming City budget crisis? How do we build a lot more housing even though it will increase traffic? How do we preserve what makes Petaluma great while building a city that will work well in the year 2040? How do we get there? By what process?
