Local government CEOs can be loosely split into 2 groups:The first consists of those simply filling a role as a cutting and thrusting cost reducer as they climb the corporate ladder. They are not out of place in the private sector. This group have little or no interest in local government or local democracy. Councillors are at best an occupational hazard who must be tolerated, but largely ignored.The second group is composed of individuals who GET local government, understanding the potential it has to transform the lives of citizens. In this group, these CEOs support and seek to enhance the role of the mayor and councillors as the legitimate voice of the community.In losing Barbara McKerrow, the local government sector is losing a leader firmly rooted in the latter category. A huge gap to fill.

It’s a rare pleasure to finish work for a client knowing that it will be ‘field tested’ straightaway. I finished developing a Placemaking Process Guide and Resources for Far North District Council last month, and this work will be put to the test starting soon in Kororāreka Russell – with a chance for further revisions following feedback from its first outing. It’s great to be able to work with a client in this way, where a quick and meaningful feedback loop is part of the process.Problems we have tried to address that we are putting to the test include:·Do these resources make local government transparent and navigable for communities wanting to lead or instigate local placemaking and developments?·Do this process and resources help build community capability and address inequity across the District? ·Have we succeeded in getting buy-in from Community Boards and multiple teams across Council to support the placemaking process?·Does this process help us figure out how to deploy very limited Council placemaking resources (staff and budget)?·Will this work equip the Placemaking team and local communities to feed more knowledgeably and confidently into higher-level growth and spatial planning processes underway in the District?I’ll post a bit more about each of these common issues and how we went about addressing them in the coming days.

My Heartfelt Message to the City of Taylor & It's Residents, Hi y'all! I'm Amy Broadnax. My family moved to Taylor when I was 12 in 1992. Over the years, I've been in real estate and helped run billion-dollar companies, but somehow, was never paid what I was worth. I started learning about economic impact and beautification deals a few years ago. When I came back to Taylor over a year ago, I saw the opportunities coming and started working on something that made all my childhood friends think I lost my mind. My goal is to make ALL OF YOU WEALTHY! I'm thrilled to introduce Haunted Texas Theme Park, a project close to my heart. This isn't just any theme park; it's a unique blend of thrills, education, and history, all designed to benefit TAYLOR first and foremost. #Why #HauntedTexasThemePark?#EconomicGrowth: The park will create hundreds of jobs, from construction to operations, ensuring that Taylor residents have first dibs on these opportunities. Not just high-tech careers most people in Taylor didn't have the opportunity to be trained or attend college for. 🤑 We're even going to have emergency funding for Taylor residents only. #TourismBoost: By attracting tourists from all over, we're not just putting Taylor on the map; we're bringing in revenue that will support local businesses and services. We're flippin' the script on our historically accurate narrative of this "cotton pickin town." 🤭☺️😉#CommunityFocus: We're committed to preserving Taylor's rich history and using it as a foundation for the park. This isn't about outsiders capitalizing on us; it's about us celebrating and profiting from our heritage.#GenerationalWealth: This is our chance to build real generational wealth for our families and community. We can turn this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity into a legacy that benefits Taylor for generations to come. 🏦#EducationalPrograms: We’ll have partnerships with local schools to provide educational programs that highlight Taylor’s history and contributions to the state of Texas.Keeping #TaylorFirstUnlike other developers who see Taylor as just another business opportunity, we are deeply invested in our community. Our focus is on ensuring that the benefits of this project stay within Taylor, empowering our residents and fostering a sense of pride and ownership in what we're building together. I love y'all, even though some of you think I lost my mind. 🤪🤣🤭☺️#CalltoActionThis is our chance, Taylor. Let's seize this opportunity to transform our town, create wealth, and build a future we can all be proud of. Join me in making Haunted Texas Theme Park a reality, and let's show everyone that when it comes to our community, we are unstoppable.Thank you for your support, and I can't wait to see what we achieve together!#TaylorTexas #HauntedTexasThemePark #EconomicGrowth #CommunityFirst #GenerationalWealth #TaylorStrong #TexasPride #SupportLocal #BuildOurFuture #TogetherWeCan #EmpowerTaylor #EconomicFreedom
