TRANSCRIPT: Read Mayor Coleman's State Of City Speech

I have seen this City grow and prosper. We cannot take progress for granted, we cannot be passive about tomorrow. We must remain hungry for new ideas, hungry for change, hungry for transformation. Only a sense of urgency will make our City as great as it can be.

In 2012, our city will be 200 years old - and that's the time our city will begin our golden age, our renaissance. For the past year we've been working on the question of what we want our city to be by 2012 and beyond.

But, if we are going to continue this transformation, we must invest in our future. We must repair and build our roads. We must buy the trucks that pick up our trash. We must build Health Centers and Family Recreation Centers. We must increase pedestrian safety by building sidewalks. We must invest in our neighborhood's basic needs: parks, sewer and water lines, policing centers and bike paths. In short, we must meet the needs of our residents, today, tomorrow and for the next generation. And we can do this by going to the Ballot with the Bicentennial Bond Package this November. I am asking you to support your city, support your neighborhoods, and support your family. We can do this without raising taxes.  More...
