I am excited for you to review my vision for our future of St. Petersburg that I call the "Foster Formula". The Formula was created based on the great ideas and passion shown by thousands of citizens such as yourself. Thanks to you, we were able to develop solutions to the top challenges facing St. Petersburg in today's economic climate. Please note that this document is simply a summary and its evolution will continue long after the election.

The Foster Formula addresses four major points:

• Control Spending with an Eye Toward Tax Reductions
• Public Safety
• Neighborhood and Business Development through Customer Service
• Sunshine, Transparency, and Open Government
