Now that we apparently have an end to Minnesota's budget impasse, we can turn our attention to what happens next. I am convinced of the need for serious reform/redesign on how all government services are delivered.
Sean Kershaw, head of Minnesota's Citizens League, has an opinion piece in today's Minneapolis Star Tribune headlined "Will Minnesotans write a better future?"
Quoting Sean,
"We need dramatic program reforms and a conversation about the proper role of government in our new demographic and economic landscape."
"We lack the places and opportunities in all types of institutions -- not just government -- to identify, discuss and reconcile our policy differences: to create common ground for the common good. In many ways, it's this simple."
Sean, of course, plugs his group as a solution. The League does serious and helpful work, and I am happy to continue my participation. However, I humbly suggest "Town Hall Minnesota" as an additional tool for bringing people together.
