SpU TH 8F <br /> � G <br /> z s <br /> 1865 <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br /> OFFICE OF THE MAYOR <br /> into prisons, can actually increase crime. In this, as with every <br /> other area of government we have talked about, I will continue <br /> to make the case for us to use facts and evidence when we <br /> make decisions. <br /> • No one has a magic wand for dealing with crime, but I know that we <br /> can make progress if we all pull together and adopt a shared strategy. <br /> 13. CONNECTEDNESS <br /> • The fourth of the five pillars of our campaign and our administration is <br /> connectedness. I want to lay out the importance of two kinds of <br /> connectedness internal and external. <br /> • First, internal connectedness. By this I mean connections within and <br /> between neighborhoods, families, employers, and groups in our <br /> community. <br /> • So many people in this community are ready to volunteer and partner <br /> to make it stronger. City government cannot and should not orchestrate <br /> all volunteer activity, but we do have to help. <br /> • In time, we will build a city-supported clearinghouse to help link <br /> willing volunteers with worthy causes. <br /> • As a preview, let me show you just one small example of something <br /> that we could do with help from the community: this is what that desk <br /> in the County-City building could look like. I think we can all agree <br /> that that lobby could be more welcoming. There is no taxpayer funding <br /> available to make it look like this, but we can clean up and staff a desk <br /> 1400 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING•227 W.JEFFERSON BOULEVARD•SOUTH BEND,INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 574/235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
