    I was in Washington, DC with my parents in 1981 and just happened to visit the Jefferson Memorial during a celebration of his birthday, complete with honor guard and dignitaries. It’s always awe-inspiring to visit the various landmarks throughout the city – DC is great!

    Tom Bullington started the topic A well-informed public benefits everyone in the forum Digital Communications 9 years, 11 months ago

    While the prospect of keeping the public well informed may seem to be a “no brainer,” there are some folks in government who may not see the value in it. I’ve actually heard a fairly prominent person in my state express the view that the public really doesn’t need to know the same information as elected and appointed officials. I couldn’t disagree…[Read more]

    Tom Bullington replied to the topic What do you think about Stephen Colbert’s testimony before a House subcommittee? in the forum Budget / Performance 10 years, 5 months ago

    I think it would have been more effective if Mr. Colbert had not appeared in character, but rather as someone who has undoubtedly been in the public spotlight and able to see how the issue has affected everyday Americans. This would have been a better way to go, rather than the comedy act.

    Isaac- When I ran my own consultancy, I specialized in creating marketing strategies for municipal governments.

    Without a doubt, people would listen to, and trust, Tom Hanks. If Hanks became the face and voice of any agency, it would be a major coup.
