When a major project is late or a public commitment is missed, residents should not have to guess who made the call or whether anyone reviewed what went wrong.
My Plan · Where I Stand
The People Making the Big Calls Should Answer for Them
The people making major City decisions should answer publicly for whether deadlines, budgets and commitments were met.
The answer
Here’s the issue. Here’s my answer. Here’s what I’d do.
I want the people making major City decisions to answer for the results: Was it on time? Was it on budget? Was the public promise kept? This is not about blaming frontline workers. It is about accountability at the level where the major decisions are made.
I’d push for a simple public record of major projects and commitments: what was promised, who owned the decision, what got done, what did not and what happens next.
