Over the past fifteen years, through my interaction with thousands of citizens with great ideas and passion, we have developed solutions for the challenges facing our city, and have come up with ideas on how we can raise the quality of life bar despite an economy that threatens to hold us back.

Now it is time we foster in a new era for the city of St. Petersburg.

I am excited for you to review my vision for our future of St. Petersburg that I call the “Foster Formula”. The Formula addresses four major points. You can click on each of the below links to review each section, or click on the Foster Formula button in the top right corner to view the document in it’s entirety.

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

If you would like to share an issue of importance to you, then please do so and I will respond. Better yet, share a solution as well, and we will discuss it. I am convinced that all talent is local, and the answers will come through the passion, ingenuity, and common sense of the citizens of St. Petersburg.
