[SustainableTompkins] Submit your ideas to Spitzer transition committee and Apply for Jobs

[Maura Stephens]

Great idea, Dan. Here's what I wrote:
All of the eight topics you suggest are tied together with one common 
thread: Sustainability. Sustainability encompasses the fiscal 
(jobs/economy), social (education, safety, heaalth care), and planetary 
(transportation, environment) aspects of life. Every discussion held in 
these policy areas should be informed by sustainability thinking. An 
excellent model, and many capable practitioners, can be found through 
Sustainable Tompkins, an all-volunteer grassroots coalition of 
individuals working for a sustainable community, region, and world. Find 
more information at www.sustainabletompkins.org. Ithaca College and 
Cornell University are partners in this group and have both got very 
active sustainability working groups and projects that can be used to 
help statewide efforts. I would be happy to participate in these 
discussions as well.
