Additionally, a sharing of ideas <br />and frustrations will enhance the communication between the <br />citizenry and the government, hopefully helping to reverse <br />the alienation of the people from their elected officials. <br />E` <br />C ng7.1 mem r <br />Wad C, Dombrowski <br />Council member <br />
