"I've always been progressive with my thinking," said Riggs. He explained that some of his ideas have become realities in the city, including repairing the road while the Harris Street Bridge was down and a covered pavilion in one of the area neighborhoods. Riggs would like to see the city sell advertising on their garbage trucks and paper bags.In local elections street projects aren't necessarily a sign of progressiveness. What about the Strawberry Extension fiasco? What are his positions on privatization and healthcare to name a couple of issues? How much will he seek citizen involvement? Will the bike paths finally be completed? How does he differ from the other candidates?
"A city in Florida raises around $800k per year for city coffers on the sale of advertising on the garbage bags," he said.
Riggs also hopes that the city will use his idea of brick pavers in the intersections of the Shaver Street project.
