Candidates: Two Rivers needs better communication between city leaders and residents
Summary
Speakers at a Two Rivers candidate event said there is a communication rift between city leaders and residents and called for more open, collaborative decision-making by the full council and staff.
Several candidates and residents at a Two Rivers event said the city should improve communication with residents and avoid hidden agendas in decision-making.
"I am on the belief that there is a rift city leaders, city in general, and the residents that we're here," a candidate said, calling for better outreach and clearer communication about city government. The speaker added that residents often do not know what city government is doing and that outreach methods need improvement.
Gus, who introduced himself during the session, urged council cohesion and transparency: "There shouldn't be any hidden agendas. There shouldn't be any type of, you know, this is my way and highway. It's all all all 9 of us working with the city staff to do what is right for the city." He urged listening to residents and working collectively with staff and other council members.
Remarks were framed as candidate priorities and calls for better engagement rather than as formal directives to staff. No official communication policy, outreach plan or binding council action was proposed or adopted during the event.
