Local pols in need of New Year's help

Political gadflies and opinionated citizens, we still want to hear from you.

Triangle Politics figured that many of our elected leaders in Durham, Orange and Wake counties may have their hands full. So we thought we'd help them out and offer some suggested New Year's resolutions from readers.

This is your chance to tell us what you wish the leaders who control the purse strings and spend tax dollars would do in the new year.

Post here or e-mail your suggested resolutions for any or all Durham, Orange and Wake political or government leaders to sarah.ovaska@newsobserver.com, and we'll print some of the best ones. Please keep it short, simple and clean, we're trying to avoid doing the heavy editing today.

And, just for your information, some of the crew over here at the N&O is resolving to start avoiding those office donuts. The only exception will be for this year's Krispy Kreme Challenge, planned for Feb. 6 and now open for registration.

So send those resolutions our way!
