If you listen to Mike and Tricia Mornings or read my articles on this website you know I often give a ton of grief to the people who run our city and county governments. There is nothing I like more than calling out a politician who isn't doing what I think is good for our area. Because all government runs on taxpayer money, you and I are handing politicians money to run things. The City wants to know what you think they should do with your money and they've come up with a survey to get your feedback.

Mike always gives me a hard time because he says that it doesn't matter what you say, the government is going to do what they want. He doesn't believe that any amount of public input makes any difference but I think that your voice needs to be heard so I want you to click here and take the City's survey.

I took the survey as I wrote this article so I could tell you some of the things that you will be able to weigh in on. Here are three things that might be important to you and your family:

1. Top 3 priorities - You can choose from Community Health like garbage and recycling, Cultural/Educational programs like libraries and the Zoo, Streets like street repair and maintenance.

3. Funding, part 2 - Funding for many services had to be put off to fund the COVID-19 response. The City wants to know what services you would want to have funded again.

The survey takes about two minutes to complete and is very important. I don't understand how people expect their politicians to know what they want if they never participate in things like this. Get on it. It took longer for me to find stock photos for this article than it will take you to participate.

Stacker used data from the 2020 County Health Rankings to rank every state's average life expectancy from lowest to highest. The 2020 County Health Rankings values were calculated using mortality counts from the 2016-2018 National Center for Health Statistics. The U.S. Census 2019 American Community Survey and America's Health Rankings Senior Report 2019 data were also used to provide demographics on the senior population of each state and the state's rank on senior health care, respectively.
