Our voters, our taxpayers, our communities expect us to be engaged in these issues. Campbell told the mayors that local governments need to initiate the discussion and take more of a leadership role in transportation issues. He pointed out that four out of every five miles of the nation's roads and streets, one-half of the nations' bridges, and many airports, ports and transit agencies are owned by local governments. These realities dictate that we must be at the table to make decisions and allocate dollars. Two chairs will be appointed for each subcommittee.
Technology is about connectivity.
We are all linked together in this incredible electronic and digital network of information. It can be the greatest equalizer that we have known. But technology must always be the means rather that the end. During the 90-minute meeting Mayor Campbell called on Bill Hubbard, Executive Vice President of the Metropolitan Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, to discuss the Chamber's study on the technology industry in Atlanta. The Chamber's study is expected to be completed later this summer.
