More social media broadcasting and encouraging more businesses to come to Cheyenne county. Possibly more meetings with local businesses for encouragement of growth.

No issues with the transportation but the infrastructure definitely needs repairs including city buildings, roads and bridges. The underground water way could definitely use an upgrade as well.

Voting on any bonds/loans over $100,000 and where that money should be spent.

The police need better pay and more/ better incentives. Therefore we can hire more police and patrol more around town, security cameras around town would be a bonus.
