Well, I have started a new website: http://www.inside84045.org. (I know, I know, I do this often.) I toyed with the idea of running for City Council, but after discussing it with momzoo, we decided that I currently did not have the time or resources to run. (And I am kind of glad that I did not, after seeing how many people put their names in the hat.) But in the process of looking into running, I found myself getting frustrated with the amount of information out there. I found it hard to find out what exactly was going on inside the Saratoga Springs City Government. So in the process I came up with the idea of www.inside84045.org.

So, I started the website. The purpose of the website is to create a place where residents of Saratoga Springs can go for up-to-date information about their City Government. I have started entering the City Council Meeting attendance data, so you can easily see what members were at what meetings. I have also started a page for each of the city council members so you can view attendance statistics. I will also eventually add all of the resolutions passed in each meeting, and what the voting records were for each of the members were. The goal is to have statistics on each of the City Elected officials so they are responsible for their votes, and attendance at meetings. In the end, you should be able to go to www.inside84045.org and be able to see how each member votes, and get a list of meetings attended and meetings missed.

This is a huge project, and will take me some time to get up to date. I am also looking for some help in this project. And some ghost writers for it as well. If you want to voice your opinion, but don't necessarily want to use your real name, let me know, and we can look into setting you up as a ghost writer.

I also would like to have all of the city ordnances available to residents as well, but that is for a later date.
