COUNCIL STRATEGIC VISION AS PUBLISHED ON CITY WEBSITE
The purpose of government is spelled out in The Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Constitution.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution explicity deals with property rights.
Therefore, the role of government is to protect citizens and their property, protect their constiutional rights and provide streets, water, sewers for their health and happiness.
Other functions that a city provides or service that a city provides seems to be extraneous to the fundamental function of government.
With those ideas in mind, why is the city promoting "diversity, trying to influence state government, expanding government through annexation and MUDs, and developing collaborative strategies with schools"?
