This is an awesome program.  I'd join but I already know how Everett city government works as follows:

**Pander to preferred voting blocks at all times
**Set up endless commissions and work groups to study current issues without getting anything done
**Constantly talk about vague feel good programs as if they're reality
**Deflect criticism by pointing fingers at everyone else
**Spend money as if there's a money tree out in the city plaza with an endless supply of cash
**Raise taxes whenever humanly possible
**Put "low barrier housing" smack dab in the middle of neighborhoods without allowing for comment
**When citizens object, treat them like they're stupid because they don't understand the nuances of "helping" people who can't figure out how to support themselves
**When all else fails, blame Trump or big pharma
**Block attempts to elect council members by district to protect current council positions
**Follow the liberal playbook at all times, no matter who it hurts
