Councilman Krekorian released his summary of community input report (“Perspectives on Neighborhood Empowerment”) this week … a culmination, he says, of ideas and advice from NC folks on the future of “the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment and the Neighborhood Council system as a whole.”

The Councilman should be commended for the transparency this kind of report promotes … and for the openness, timeliness and 21st Century communication standards his 2nd District website contains in general. It’s a model. The rest of the City’s electeds and department chiefs should get in step.
