Does an Estate Need a Guardian?
In some cases the probate court appoints a guardian for an estate's heir to take care of the heir's affairs and manage his or her assets. A common case is one where the decedent has died and the heir is a minor child or an otherwise legally incapacitated person who stands to inherit from the estate.
When the parent of a minor dies, if the parent had a will, typically he or she names the child's other parent as guardian. If there is no other parent, the decedent typically names some other person or persons to act as guardian.
Occasionally a parent will designate one person or couple as guardian(s) of the person of his or her minor child, and another person as guardian of the property. This is likely to happen if the decedent feels one person or couple is ideal to raise the children, but not the best person(s) to manage the child's assets.
If no guardian is named in the will, or if there is no will, the court will choose the guardian, taking into account the best interests of the child. It is always best for all involved if the decedent names a guardian in a will, as the probate judge will try to honor the decedent's wishes if at all possible.
In many states, judges must follow the stated wishes in the will. In others, the judge makes the final determination based on a number of factors, of which the stated wishes of the decedent are only one.
If the decedent didn't name a guardian and there is no surviving spouse, it is common for several relatives to come forward requesting to be appointed guardian, all claiming that they are the best person to take care of the minor child or children. In that case, the judge will take input from all sides and make a decision based on the child's best interests, and, if possible, taking into account the preference of the child.

Lupus (systemic

autoimmune disease, in which the
immune system attacks the body's own tissues as though
they were foreign substances. Immunosuppressive medicines reduce
inflammation and suppress the immune system.
Azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and
mycophenolate mofetil are used to
treat severe
kidney disease associated with lupus.
Methotrexate is used to
control skin rash and joint pain caused by lupus. It may be tried to allow less corticosteroid medicine to be used.1
Methotrexate may help control skin rashes
and joint pain.2 There also are reported benefits for controlling more severe
lupus symptoms, such as inflammatory conditions of the kidneys and tissues

Other immunosuppressive medicines are used for more severe lupus. Most studies have been done using one of the immunosuppressives, along with corticosteroids, for lupus that is causing serious kidney problems (lupus nephritis). But they are also used to try to control other serious symptoms of lupus, such as inflammation around the heart and lungs. Azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and mycophenolate mofetil are the most commonly used medicines. They can take several weeks to reach full effectiveness, but they generally help decrease serious symptoms. As the immunosuppressive takes effect, the amount of corticosteroids can usually be reduced.2
Side effects of immunomodulator medicines include:

Combinations of immunosuppressants and corticosteroids can be very effective but can also increase

take immunosuppressants if you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant. If you are a man who is taking this medicine, do not try to conceive a child.

TROY -- One of the most famous women in American history will appear at Hudson Valley Community College on Feb. 28 to bring a fitting end to Black History Month. She is Sojourner Truth, the 19th-century ex-slave who worked for emancipation, racial equality and women's rights. Truth, whose original name was Isabella Baumfree, said that she took her new name because "when I left the house of bondage, I left everything behind." Sojourner will be portrayed by Kathryn Woods, a Massachusetts-based actor who has been spreading the truth about Truth for nearly 25 years. Woods got into acting through a back door after working as a case manager in a prison. "I did a show and played an evil wife," she recalled. "I loved the feeling of people hating me. I quit working to be an actor." Once she opted for the theater over prison, she faced a problem: earning a living. "Another actor said to me, 'Welcome to the vow of poverty,'" Woods recalled. "I needed to pay the rent." To that end, she teamed up with another actor for a two-woman show about Clara Barton and Sojourner Truth, who had worked together to help veterans during and after the Civil War. Eventually, Woods spun off her one-woman show, for which she continues to do research. "Last year, there was a Chautauqua in Colorado, and they wanted more" about Truth's life, she said. To that end, Woods had to learn more about Truth's relationship with her children. "I did her as a mother," she continued. "It was a more personal Sojourner. Usually, it's about her as a public person." Woods, who regularly portrays a fictional tavern maid on Boston's Freedom Trail, has to hue to the facts when it comes to presenting Sojourner Truth. The show is filled with "direct quotations," she explained, "based on an interview that Harriet Beecher Stowe did with her." Stowe wrote that Truth "had more of that silent and subtle power which we call personal presence" than anyone else she knew. "She seemed perfectly self-possessed and at her ease, -- in fact, there was almost an unconscious superiority, not unmixed with a solemn twinkle of humor, in the odd, composed manner in which she looked down on me." When asked what Truth would think of America having a black president, Woods replied, "What do you think? She was over the moon to meet Lincoln, who called her 'Auntie Sojourner.' I cried when Obama was voted in. How marvelous it was to portray Sojourner that day." As she has moved about America to present Truth's story, Woods has found that "a lot of people have never heard of her." Others are surprised to learn she was a slave in New York, not in the South, and grew up speaking Dutch, the language of her masters. "People don't think about her being separated from her children -- the personal stuff," Woods continued. "She didn't know where her children were. She got one son back [by going to court and besting a white man] and lost him again. After shows, people say to me, 'I never thought of her that way.' But Sojourner makes you think about slavery that way." Despite her years of being a slave and the difficulties she faced as a black woman in freedom, Sojourner remained a devout Christian. "She never stopped believing," Woods affirmed. "God carried her through." Kathryn Woods will present "A Woman Ain't I?" her one-woman show about Sojourner Truth on Feb. 28 at noon at the Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium on the campus of Hudson Valley Community College. The Bulmer auditorium is located on North Road., off Route 4. Admission is free. It is recommended that audience members arrive early in order to find a parking space.

Renaissance ahead for Breckenridge Arts District
summit daily news
BRECKENRIDGE – Breckenridge locals and visitors will see a campus dedicated to the arts take shape in the heart of town over the next two years after the town council approved a significant renovation and upgrade to the existing arts district Tuesday.
"We want it to develop into a really special place that would preserve open space and the art and the soul of Breckenridge," town spokeswoman Kim Dykstra-DiLallo said.
The arts district is a collection of historic buildings located between Ridge and Main streets that provides space for visiting artists, public workshops and classes. Town leaders plan to invest $2.3 million over the next two years reworking the area to create a cohesive campus that is inviting to pedestrians.
The makeover will include the restoration of five existing historic structures, the construction of two new buildings and aesthetic improvements such as walkways, plazas, sculptures, green spaces and lighting, all intended to tie the campus together, according to documents provided by the town.
Officials hope the arts district will eventually extend outward, connecting to the Blue River Plaza and the Riverwalk Center to the west and the old CMC building to the east. Those facilities are slated for large-scale improvement projects in the next few years as well.
"The build-out of the Breckenridge Arts District will be a vibrant addition to the downtown core as part of the developing cultural spine from the Riverwalk Center to the Harris Street Community Center (old CMC)," a recent memo from town staffers to the council read.
With the project approved, the town will likely start preliminary work on the arts district renovation this summer.
When completed, the campus will feature a new 640-square-foot metalsmithing studio, designed to look like a residential structure, and a new ceramics studio. The metalsmithing space will be located between the Robert Whyte house and the Backstage Theatre, with the ceramics studio just behind it.
The buildings up for renovation include:
> The Robert Whyte house, the home of an early Breckenridge hotel owner, now a museum, which will be returned to its original look with the removal of a nonhistoric addition and chimney. It will also be placed on a new foundation and its roof will be stabilized and redone to match the original.
> The Burro Barn, a structure that collapsed several years ago, which will be restored to its historic look, relocated and modernized to house public restrooms.
> The Mikolitis Barn, which will be rehabilitated, upgraded with new electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems and modified to house a printmaking and textile studio.
Town officials plan to include the 121-year-old Abbey Hall, acquired earlier this month, in the district as well. The building's prior owners used it as a church. It will likely become a dance studio when the current lease expires.
The arts district, commissioned in a 2004 master plan to ensure the adaptive reuse of a number of historic buildings, was set to be fully restored and built out by 2025, but town leaders decided last year to accelerate the development. Officials now plan to finish the project by 2015.
"I love the vision of this functioning as a fully realized arts district," Councilman Ben Brewer said of the plan in 2012. "I think it could become an economic engine for our town."

I have an assignment in class due that has four optional assignments. I have already completed one option, but I wanted to complete one of the other ones that I think I am capable of doing. Basically, the assignment says:
Write a class with a public method that takes a single argument which is an array of integers, and prints to the console those integers in a two-column format, with the first half of the numbers appearing in the first column and second half in the second column. The input array may contain any number of integers.
Now I have a basic idea of how to start this:
public void printIntegers (int[] myArray){ // do I have to declare myArray beforehand in the class?
but I can't seem to remember how to split an array into two parts. In my code, I want to split the array and print its contents from let's say myArray[a] to myArray[b] as the first column, and then myArray[c] to myArray[d] in the second column. Can anyone help me with this?

Celebrating International Women's Day 2019
This year, as part of International Women's Day, we've asked four inspirational women what this day means to them and how to pursue a successful career in surveying.
Elaine Jones FRICS, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Asteco is one of Dubai's most influential surveyors.
Having founded Asteco in 1985, she has worked on several projects including Emirates Tower, World Trade Centre Apartments, Wafi City and most notably The Palm Jumeirah.
Elaine was involved in the iconic project in its early days, working with Arthur Anderson on the research and feasibility studies and later handling the initial booking and transactions of the first plots of land.
Elaine moved to Dubai in 1980 when property was exclusively owned by GCC Nationals and built for the expatriate workforce to rent. In 1985, Elaine founded Asteco, a leasing and property management company that was involved in some of the country's most innovative developments.
In the mid-1990's His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashid told Sultan Bin Sulayem that Dubai needed to create land to allow for more water front properties. Having worked closely together in the early days of Asteco, Sultan Bin Sulayem asked Elaine to work alongside concept architect Warren Pickering and the team of selected consultants on the pre-proposal research and feasibility studies for The Palm Jumeirah.
Given there were no benchmark figures to base this research on, Elaine and the team compared data from Saudi and Qatar where luxury waterfront projects had been undertaken. The ambitious plans to create the iconic man-made island came with many risks and it was made clear that approval of the project would be conditional on complete financial and physical feasibility. The research Elaine helped conduct played an important part in ensuring final approval.
When The Palm Jumeirah subsequently launched, and the opportunity was made available to virtually all nationalities, an Asteco team were assigned to work with Jebel Ali Properties, which later became Nakheel, to handle the initial booking and transactions for the first plots that were released. The demand for the plots was so high that customers were limited to buying only four plots each and the option to halve the plots to help meet demand was made.
As a host to many new restaurants and leisure destinations, including the 5-star Atlantis Hotel, the completion of the Palm Jumeirah has been of significant importance to Dubai's tourism. In 2016 the number of tourists had more than doubled since 2005; Dubai now enjoys over 15.8 million international travellers a year.
Elaine's firm Asteco is the largest private multi-disciplinary real estate services company in the Emirates. In 2015 the franchise business was launched which further extends Asteco's presence throughout the region with substantial plans for the Saudi operation and other GCC countries. In recognition of her career in the Middle East Elaine was named Middle East Businesswoman of the Year 2007.
We are proud of every female surveyor and their contribution to ensuring the profession remains sustainable throughout the 21st century.
As part of this year's celebrations, we are showcasing females throughout the profession, from industry leaders to newly-chartered, underlining how surveying represents an exciting and progressive career path.

Game 64 Recap - KAT, Wolves bite Thunder, OKC loses 131-120
In Paul George's first game back from shoulder injury, he looked like it. PG-13 might need a few games to get back into rhythm and tonight was exhibit A. Russell Westbrook's 38 points couldn't keep pace with Karl Anthony Towns (41 points of his own) as the Thunder fall on the road to the Timberwolves. This drops OKC to fourth place in the standings behind (pukes) Houston and slightly ahead of Portland due to the tie-breaker. Matty Mulls catches you up on all the action from tonight's loss.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Tuna and egg bento
The bare tuna-paste bento was a great success, but with the arrival of my new bento container, I was left with some extra unused space. I decided to fill the space with easy to make and very tasty iri tamago, which is basically a Japanese kind of scrambled eggs! You can definitely use iri tamago in onigiri, or as a small side dish.
Simple chicken teriyaki bento
This recipe is very easy and fast to cook, because it requires ready-made teriyaki sauce. Still, it's a really tasty alternative to sausages and pork, and chicken made in teriyaki style is juicy, tender and full of aroma! It also takes just few minutes, because the meat is first fried quickly, and then glazed with sauce. Fast food like a boss ;-)
Fancy tamagoyaki bento
Oh my, this one is both a looker and tastes amazingly! :-) This bento idea is based on the basic tamagoyaki recipe, so feel free to use your favorite ingredients: champignons or chanterelle mushroom, herbs, different kinds of onion, bacon bits, ham shavings etc. Go crazy! :-) It's also a very good side dish!
Teriyaki salmon bento
I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)

IRONMAN For A Cause - Waikato Athlete Supports Sick Friend During Own IRONMAN Journey
12 February 2019
By his own estimation, Hamilton born and bred Craig Endres is nothing special, a weekend-warrior who enjoys his sport and pushing his 51-year-old body to keep up with his 20-year-old mindset, but in truth he is doing something amazing, something very special for a friend facing much greater challenges that he could ever imagine.
Each time he heads out training for what will be his third Kellogg's Nutri-Grain IRONMAN New Zealand in March (he has completed the race previously in 2007 and 2017), the Hamilton electrical worker carries a little extra motivation to put in the laps in the pool, and to cycle and run a few more kilometres, knowing that with each passing hour he is helping raise money for a friend and family in need.
"I have already done a couple of IRONMAN New Zealand events and had thought I was done, but time heals the pain of a tough race day and after my 22-year marriage came to an end I went searching for another challenge, something to look forward to and focus on," said Endres.
"It was around that time that a very good friend received some terrible news. I have known Tanya Laurence (nee Jacobs) for over 30 years, since our days playing Junior rep squash. It was mid-2017 and she was diagnosed with a very rare and very aggressive Leiomyosarcoma cancer.
"She was not given a long prognosis so her plight sort of put my life in perspective. Tanya has a Facebook page for friends where she keeps us all updated. She is always positive, encouraging people to look forward, spend time with loved ones, live in the moment and take every opportunity that life gives you because you never know what's around the corner."
It is Tanya's attitude in times of extreme stress that inspires Craig, but he realized that he needed to do more, he needed to somehow make his hard work towards IRONMAN New Zealand count for something more than sympathy and supportive comments and posts.
"Reading her and her husband's (Graham) posts made for hard reading at times and I personally felt that responding with 'likes' and sad emojis was a pretty hollow response.
"So, I entered IRONMAN with Tanya's comments about taking every opportunity at the forefront of my mind. While out biking one day I decided that my hours training could be a way of raising money for her and her family."
And so Craig has set up a Give-A-Little page, one that invites donors to pledge however much they can spare towards helping Tanya and her family in any way seen as appropriate – whether it is helping fund drugs, supporting the family or even short holidays when Tanya is healthy enough.
"Tanya didn't want a fuss, so it was with some reluctance that she gave me her permission to start up the Give-A-Little page. But there had to be a goal or target from me, something that makes what I am doing that much more tangible, so I am donating $1 per hour of training that I do to her page.
"So far, I have raised $3,500 for her and the family, but it is not all from me. A lot of the squash fraternity have supported me, as have other family and friends and in some cases, complete strangers."
The electrical distribution operator for WEL Networks in Hamilton says that even his worst days out training do not compare to what Tanya is facing, with rounds of chemotherapy leaving her sick and at times unable to do even the most basic daily tasks.
"What really gets me out the door some days is a comment or an update from Tanya. At one stage after a bout of chemo she had to sit down to brush her teeth as she didn't have the energy to stand. I've never been that tired, so I put my bike or running shoes on and out I go.
"My first two IRONMAN events were done with no real programme or structure. I just sort of hammered myself and hoped for the best. I have a friend who has done a number of IRONMAN and 70.3 events, so she has been helping me this year.
"The training has been relentless and I'm over feeling knackered all the time. January has been partially hard with some big miles on the bike and big runs, especially while everyone else is relaxing on holiday.
"But there is a huge difference this time around, the motivating factor to keep to my programme is the fundraising. I have found it very empowering to do something for someone else (this is a first for me). I'm averaging 10-14hrs a week."
Tanya is herself a high level and competitive athlete, playing district rep squash and junior, senior and masters level, and playing through into the final rounds at the 2017 World Masters Games in Auckland.
Married with two intermediate age children, Tanya is a Taupo local but has moved to Auckland and is Marketing Manager for Rebel Sport. Her parents still live in Taupo, and she plans on a visit to see them and be a part of something special at Kellogg's Nutri-Grain IRONMAN New Zealand when Craig Endres crosses the line on March 2nd.
Endres hopes to raise further funds for Tanya and her family, knowing that he has some hard training weeks ahead as he looks to be in the best possible shape come race day, to do himself and Tanya justice at an event that inspires people to amazing things the world over.
"The next three weeks will mean even longer training hours as I put in the bulk of the endurance work ahead of race day, so I can't say I'm looking forward to that. But I will take it on knowing that each hour spent preparing is helping Tanya and her family continue to face her challenge with real courage and strength that puts my task in the shade."

An aerospace company made a big splash at the Paris Air Show, unveiling the design fo an all-electric, zero emission passenger plane of the future.
VoltAir's jet of the not-too-distant future would be made of lightweight composite material and powered by an engine athed in liquid nitrogen, according to FastCompany. The bullet-shaped aricraft's engine would be driven by a high-density battery that fits in the cargo hold and could easily be replaced with a charged one, similar to a refueling, only faster.
The technology for the VoltAir's engine is not yet available, but Germany-based designer EADS believes it is just around the corner. The technology, dubbed ZEHST for "zero emission, hypersonic airliner," could be ready to whisk passengers from Tokyo to London in two-and-a-half hours by 2050, according to GizMag.com. EADS believes the technology could be available within a more optimistic 25 years.
The VoltAir doesn't look like a typical commercial airliners: The fuselage is designed for an optimum thickness-to-length ratio in order to minimize aerodynamic drag while maximizing interior space. Rear-mounted propellers "ingest" the wake from the fuselage, while the engine-free wings remain streamlined.
"Combined with the promising developments expected in electric propulsiontechnologies, the VoltAir concept could pave the way towards ultra-quiet and emission-free flight," boasts the company's website.

I believe set theorists have studied all of the following three notions in the context of forcing extensions of a model of ZFC, $M$ (hopefully the terminology is the standard one).
A function $f:\mathbb N\rightarrow\mathbb N$ is eventually different if for each function $g:\mathbb N\rightarrow\mathbb N$, $g\in M$, the set $\{n: f(n)=g(n)\}$ is finite.
A real $r\in [0,1]$ is a Solovay random real if for each measure-zero subset $S$ of $\mathbb R$ with $S\in M$, we have $r\not\in S$.
A function $f:\mathbb N\rightarrow\mathbb N$ is dominating if for each function $g:\mathbb N\rightarrow\mathbb N$ in the ground model $M$, the set $\{n: f(n)\le g(n)\}$ is finite.
An eventually different function that is not too fast-growing is reminiscent of a random real. Can we always use it to construct a random real? The analogous problem in computability theory was quite difficult but has been solved by Kumabe and Lewis (J. LMS, 2009).
I. Is it possible to add an eventually different function to $M$ while adding neither a Solovay real nor a dominating function?
EDIT: Now stating the question in the strongest possible form, which is the one Andrés Caicedo answers below.

What are some examples of math contest problems that can be solved by using a nonrigorous, 'cheap' shortcut?
For instance, a problem on the 2011 AMC went:
A raft and a motorboat left dock A and started downstream. The raft traveled at the speed of the current. The motorboat maintained a constant speed with respect to the river. The motorboat went to point B then immediately turned back, meeting the raft 9 hours after leaving dock. How long did it take the motorboat to travel from A to B?
An attentive student may notice that the question does not mention the speed of the current, so it must not affect the answer. Then setting the current to be 0, he gets 4.5 hours trivially.
Another example might be the trivial 'derivation' of the probability of a random fill of a Ferrers diagram is a Young tableau. Assume all probabilities are independent, then multiply the individual probability for each hook; this gives the correct formula, but the proof is completely wrong (the probabilities are obviously not independent).
I'm looking for problems in which an otherwise non-rigorous step, or a false intuition leads to the correct answer.

The press junket for Amazing Spider-Man provided producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach with an opportunity to discuss such topics as the Venom movie spinoff, and how it will imitate TASM's modernized, grounded portrayal of the Spider-Man universe.
Arad and Tolmach also hinted at their intention to follow Marvel Studios' example and maintain narrative continuity between all upcoming Spider-Man films (similar to the planned DC superhero universe). Furthermore, Marvel's Avengers success has increased the likelihood of a cross-over featuring Spidey, according to Arad.
Here's what Arad and Tolmach told Crave Online, with regards to the Venom spinoff:
"As you know, Venom [in the comics] is defender of the innocent. The only guy he really, really hates is Peter Parker, Spider-Man. The reason you didn't see more development on Venom in the comics is because this power that he was given, he knew who Peter was, he knew who Spider-Man was, so go kill him already. We always struggle with storylines and you see the new Venom books. It's Flash in Iraq. We know that if we put him in a certain position and concentrate on the human, not on the creature, which I thought was a really good beginning in ['Spider-Man 3]."
Spider-Man 3 was heavily-criticized by fans for not devoting a sufficient amount of screen time to developing Eddie Brock/Venom. It didn't help that the character was watered down into a stereotypical sleazy photographer, motivated by his own self-interest - instead of the over-ambitious journalist whose suicidal and vengeful desires fuel the Venom symbiote, after he is disgraced in the original "Amazing Spider-Man" comic book storyline. Tolmach conceded as much during the interview:
"The truth is he also deserves his own movie. We've been sitting around in a room talking about Venom stories and it's a really full bodied complicated character, Eddie Brock and this character. Maybe people feel there wasn't enough of a chance to unravel it, but we're all in on him."
Previous reports that Chronicle director Josh Trank was circling Venom has helped to generate positive buzz, and inspired hope for a more nuanced iteration of the Eddie Brock/Venom character - similar to the anti-hero/villain who defends "the innocent" in the comics. Although that stone was left unturned during their TASM interview, Tolmach and Arad did offer assurances that Venom will "stay close to the bible, stay close to the emotional story" of Eddie Brock.
However, Arad also alluded to the idea that Venom will modernize the character, saying (in a separate interview with Hollywood.com):
"[Pseudo-sceince] is becoming science. All these tidbits about webs, artificial webs, is a huge industry now. Spiderwebs have unique qualities that will be huge for communications, fibers, and so forth. So we have taken the approach that we want to make the huge amazing movie about Eddie."
Arad's comments are worth noting, as it's been pretty much acknowledged by now that Amazing Spider-Man primarily draws from the more contemporary "Ultimate Spider-Man" comic book continuity. Yet, in spite of that, the decision for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) to utilize self-made web-shooters seems like more of a throwback to the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man comics from the 1960s. That is, unless you look at it from the perspective that Arad mentioned.
That the worlds of Amazing Spider-Man and Venom will "make sense with one another" in terms of tone and their comparatively realistic design, is essentially a given (according to Arad and Tolmach); hence, the two universes could organically mesh together in a future Amazing Spider-Movie sequel. Arad also offered a glimmer of hope for fans who've been hoping that the web-slinger could show up in a future Avengers sequel:
"Everything is possible. If something like that happens, it's great for Disney, it's great for Sony. If the right story comes in, we are now working on 'Venom' first. It's our first out. So our thinking is in the right direction. 'Avengers' to me was an expected success so I never looked at it because 'Avengers' was successful."
Will Sony make a serious push to get in on the billion-dollar pie that is Marvel's Avengers franchise? The financial incentive is certainly there - and, as everyone should know by now, that's ultimately the bottom line in Hollywood.
To cap all that off: check out a recent featurette for The Amazing Spider-Man, focusing on Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard:

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today released more results from a recent City phone survey of 600 randomly selected residents. The Mayor also encouraged the general public to take the same survey, which is available online at lincoln.ne.gov through January 18. Paper copies also are available at all Lincoln City Libraries.
The citizen satisfaction survey is critical in making the City a more performance-based organization," Beutler said. "The survey results will provide us with more of the information we need to make local government more responsive to the needs of those who live and work here.
Beutler released survey results last month showing that 91 percent of respondents said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their quality of life. Nearly two-thirds of those interviewed said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the City's snow removal efforts. About 45 percent said they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that they receive good value for their City government tax dollars. At the same time, more than 70 percent of the phone survey respondents overestimated the percentage of their property tax dollar that goes to City government.
Phone survey results released today include the following:
Complete results would be released once the online survey results are processed. The City is again partnering with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center, which also helped with the PRIORITY LINCOLN project and earlier "Taking Charge" efforts.
