Episode 22: Jennifer Park, District 2 candidate

“One of the things I’d really like to see the new City Council do is be more of a leader in the collaboration and the coordination of things, instead of saying, “Here’s a bucket of money that we want to do this, go and do it!”, actually being a leader in how this is going to be done, (…) following through on making sure that we are(…) getting those outcomes that we were intending to get when we set these policies into place.”
