The Trick of “Move Forward”
A theme that emerged during Tiverton on Track Episode 13 was the tendency of government insiders to urge the public to “move forward” from the problems and mistakes of the past. Depending on your perspective, it’s either a bug or a feature that this has the effect of making it more difficult to fix underlying problems. (Probably because a major underlying problem is often the government insiders!)
In this episode, Donna Cook, Nancy Driggs, and I discuss ways in which local government can get a handle on things, including meetings in which not everybody has to agree.
