			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I applaud the State of Indiana&#8217;s efforts to build a budget transparency portal (<a href="http://www.nwitimes.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_f9532d05-d56a-5bc6-9d4e-db31b925ab23.html" target="_blank">Editorial:   Make budget numbers, priorities clear</a>).  Citizens deserve an easily accessible and understandable one stop place to review budgets, revenue and expense numbers, contracts, and any other type of government spending.</p>
<p>The same model should be applied at the local level as well.  As mayor, I will make sure residents of Hammond have the ability to review all budgets, contracts, casino money, and special events such as the Festival of the Lakes.  In addition, this information will be updated every 30 days and easily accessible and clear.  An open government is an honest government, one that eliminates any waste, fraud, or abuse.  An open government will also give the citizens what they deserve, accountability.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I am officially announcing my candidacy for Mayor of Hammond.  I  am excited about the opportunity to share my “Vision for a Renewed  Hammond” with Hammond residents over the course of the campaign.</p>
<p>To make my vision a reality, my campaign will be focused on four main  themes:  Accountability, Community Involvement, Public Safety and  Economic Development.</p>
<p>First and foremost, I am running to make sure all those in city  government, including the mayor, are held accountable and to the highest  standard, to the citizens of Hammond.</p>
<p>I am running to bring residents, community and business leaders together  to radically improve the quality of life throughout the city.</p>
<p>I am running to make sure Hammond is a safe community by raising the bar  and reenergizing our efforts to make our neighborhoods safe and renew  our fight against gang-related crime.</p>
<p>Finally, I am running to reinvigorate Hammond’s economic potential and  help employers create solid, well paying jobs.</p>
<p>Throughout the course of the campaign, I will work to bring a new  approach to Hammond.  I will demand accountability, innovative thinking,  and I will bring new and innovative ideas to improving the quality of  life throughout all parts of Hammond.</p>
<p>For more information on the campaign, visit www.saligaformayor.com.</p>
