        Term limits, the same 3 families have been running my town for 40 years.
a bypass, we're a very small town with a huge tourist industry, and the township refuses to approve a bypass because it would divert traffic away from the tourist trap, regardless of the fact that it takes half an hour to cross a town with a single traffic light.
investment of the tax money into the community. Again, we have a huge tourist industry and a shit ton of money comes into town from it, yet our roads are absolutely terrible, half the town doesn't have sidewalks, and honestly I don't know where any of the money goes.

Make all local utilities city-owned (including internet access as a utility).
Make all city employees part of a municipal employees union (opt-out available)
Require all legal judgments against the police department to be paid out of their pension fund.
