[Durham INC] List of priorities from last night

[TheOcean1 at aol.com]

If you  look at the report card value in this survey, the fact that two 
past top vote  getters (parking on yards, illegal signs) couldn't even register 
a single vote  means INC has been pretty effective!

John Martin explained three says to act on our  priorities: 
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·       <!--[endif]-->Legislative – Something to 
ask City Council,  the Board of County Commissioners, some agency, etc. 
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·       <!--[endif]-->Informational – Something 
worth having  presentations to INC on 
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·       <!--[endif]-->Committee work – Something 
we need to form a  committee to study 
It was noted that we already have internal commitments to  do a Candidate 
Forum in the fall and some kind of multi-neighborhood  party. 
The priorities (and votes) are as follow.  I did some  ordering of items to 
try to keep similar things together.  Votes >5  are in red.
