Discussion questions:

  • Have any Worcester mayors since 1970 provided more leadership and agenda-setting than the City Manager?
  • Do you think the expected value of a Worcester vote is more or less than $10? Why?
  • In what situations do you think bullet voting makes sense?

Their dream is to move from their Gateway Park location to the Printer’s Building downtown, alongside the Worcester Think Tank and IA Design. You can support this project and also back an open-source robotics project developed there.
