Great question ! Not sure yet.
Thinking . . .
I'm a little sensitive about being too aggressive, too fast.
Thanks, Daun. This does sound hopeful; I wonder if if/how our ACES community can help maintain some momentum with keeping local politicians engaged?
Hello Nick,
City Council reacted with much interest, and maybe a little surprise, and (I am hoping) eventually some follow through and action. Time will tell. Their questions to-date are all about statistics, or quantitative research learning. I take the fact that they are even asking questions, as a hopeful positive signal.

Thank you for presenting this testimony to City Council. I'd love to know how they reacted, and what type of questions they may have had for you.
