New & interesting report by the U.S. conference of Mayors. Apparently income inequality is a very high ranking issue in urban centers. Need some concentration by mayors in rural areas on this issue also. Rural poverty is and income inequality is a major issue as well. " Compared to areas like crime or local tax rates, mayors believe income inequality is an area over which they have neither a great deal of control nor a great deal of accountability to constituents. While that might lead us to expect mayors to do less, the survey shows the opposite to be true: Many of America's mayors are aggressively pursuing a wide variety of policies and tactics that target household financial insecurity and income inequality."
