Hi Heather,
The fabulous Viki Sonntag has suggested that we talk. For my last As I See It Leader column of the year, due Dec. 26 at noon, publication Dec. 31, I want to speak with a few people about
what we need to do in 2026, following the passage of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and, when it passes (if memory serves me correctly), the county’s Comp Plan. The focus will be on
actions PT CC and JeffCo Commissioners can take to move us forward toward affordable (low-income) and workforce housing that can serve our increasingly homeless, forced out population
of young residents, families, lower-income people, workforce… you know the list and the story.
The column is 800 words max. My last column, in the current Leader, is 798 words. Are you game? I’m probably reaching out to more folks than I have space for, so please understand.
I’m interviewing Viki Monday at noon. How’s 12:45? If not, what are good times? We all have lots on our plates, and I’ll be as flexible as I can be. I don’t want to be staying up all
Thursday night putting this together.
Thank you,
jason
