   Chevron has made efforts but it is not enough as Richmond is still in the same state and condition year after year. I want to advocate and be a voice to bring to the forefront that Richmond does not need simple payoffs and incentives, we need actual community development and results more than a few improvements here and there. For example, the community is faced with poverty and low income with limited resources as well as limited opportunity for the community to grow. Together we can be a voice and project more development in Richmond. There is not simply one problem as there are many problems and pollution can be a start to addressing problems. Therefore my idea is to bring the problems to desk of corporate Chevron and ask how are you helping us.

   Let us set an example for the entire country by making Election Day a city-wide holiday! Our country consistently reports low voter turnout, even though many of the reasons are known: disenfranchised voters, long lines, restrictive legislation, unequal distribution of polling centers, and, of course, that it is always on a Tuesday, right in the middle of the work week! Although federal law requires that employers allow their employees some time to vote, we all know that this does not always happen. As a progressive city, let us show the way. Let us declare Election Day to be so important that the residents of Richmond are allowed the entire day to research, think, discuss, and then head to the polls with plenty of time to vote. Think of the positive press that this would create! Think of the example we would set for so many other areas! Think of the immediate rise in voter turnout this would create! Who could possibly be against this idea? Let us make it happen, City Council!
