   Modify the primary and electoral process for town officials or better inform the public of the process. Even for someone who understands what a straight ballot is, no where did we understand that local elected officials would follow national party affiliation in the primary election. We lost our vote today due to this lack of information (by selecting a democratic ballot and not getting to vote for mayor who will run unopposed in November). Better information or a better process must be in place. http://www.fishers.in.us/Index.aspx?NID=281

   This is such a great website. It’s so nice to feel like there is a place to communicate about your desires about your community but it’s hard to believe that this has any power when there is only like ten people commenting. Get the word out about this great resource. Advertise in the news papers, at grocery stores and farmers markets, send pamphlets in the mail. I’m sure lots of people want to be apart of the discussions of our community but don’t have time go to meetings. Maybe make an app just for this forum and have it send alerts to members on trending topics so they can weigh in. And have members of government make comments so we know we are being heard.
