Toni Harp wants you to pull out your smartphone and give her advice on how to run city government when she becomes mayor on Jan. 1.
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can send in your ideas from a computer, once her transition team finishes putting up a website.
In the meantime, you can can get started now funneling some feedback. (Read on for details.)
Harp (pictured) plans later this week to include a feature on her transition website asking people to offer ideas for her transition team as it prepares her for taking the reins of a city government run by the same man, John DeStefano, for the previous 20 years. (The site wasn’t ready to go live with content beyond a home-page photo as this story went to press. “I’m hopeful for later this week” to have it fully operational and accepting citizen ideas, said transition team spokesman Laurence Grotheer said Tuesday.)
“I ran on collaboration and consensus,” Harp (pictured above) said in an interview in her Whalley Avenue transition headquarters. “I want to hear what everybody has to say. There are people in this town” who bring ideas and knowledge that can add to what her transition team appointees bring to the process.
“We want to use everybody’s intelligence to move the city forward,” she said.
