We Need a Litmus Test

Our region's leaders need a litmus test for determining when and where they direct our collective focus. When deliberating over public investments, we need to ask ourselves will it serve the fundamental needs of our region's economy. If the evidence isn't clear, we drop the issue and move on to the next. We can't afford to waste resources examining issues/ideas/concepts that don't serve the fundamental challenges we face when reinventing the region's economy. Such a litmus test is a result of vision and strategy, which are products of leadership. If the current regional leaders aren't delivering, we need to rotate the stock.
