But this is a dynamic mayor and working to make her city better. Every person we lose in this community, I feel that. And so but I take that responsibility seriously. It is it is doing policing and it is making our community safe for everyone. I judge myself on what I can do better.
David Martin: Welcome to the Good Government show. Victoria Woodards The mayor is in her second term. Before that, she served seven years on the Tacoma City Council. In case you should know, Tacoma is at the base of Mount Rainier and the team name Rainiers. Anyway, before all that, she was in the US Army, which she joined right out of high school. And this is an organization that shares best practices and other information between city leaders to help every city do better.
We discussed how this helps both her city and other cities during her leadership. Even though this city on Puget Sound with Mount Rainier and the skyline can look beautiful.
Mayor Waters has some real tough challenges to deal with. But she has put new programs in place. And crime is also up in Tacoma. So listen to how good government planning is helping improve Tacoma. After the break, my conversation with Mayor Victoria Woodards. Naco is a nationwide organization that represents all counties across the USA. Naco helps county government work better together to things like sharing best practices. Look forward to the conversation. David Martin: Good.
So I must confess right off the top, I have never been to Tacoma. I know. Paint a picture. Tell me about your town. Victoria Woodards: Oh, my goodness. Beautiful place the Pacific Northwest is.
