Welcome to Citiwire.net! We’re pleased to welcome back a former Citistates Associate, Rick Cole, city manager of Ventura, Calif., and former mayor of Pasadena. Rick has a sharp political/policy eye and I think you’ll enjoy his analysis of how the Obama administration will have to build an agenda around long-term sustainability, not the familiar sprawl, consumption and waste formula. Rick stresses his views are his own. My column plays off the Obama as community organizer theme–How can he utilize his campaign network of millions for collaborative governance and societal change, not just whipping up support for White House-chosen legislation and candidates.
