Openness The Mayor and his administration must be open, must be able to accept criticism, to seek out criticism, and must communicate. Too often the citizens of Florence are left with the impression that the deal has been cut behind closed doors, and we as taxpayers are privileged if we find out after the fact what it cost and who benefited. Too often critical decisions such as where projects are placed, when they are undertaken, who is hired to administer our city departments, and how they are selected, are made out of the public view, in executive session, or elsewhere. The public’s business must be done in public and all the interested parties, including the average citizen, should be allowed, invited, to participate. Trust comes from openness, and we must be able to trust one another. I have no financial gains to be made by seeking to improve the quality of life in the City of Florence, and I pledge to you that when I am elected your Mayor, all decisions on all public issues will be arrived at openly and in full public view.
