What is Huntington's #1 Priority?

The #1 priority for our city is to re-establish the sense of community pride that we have lost. When a city becomes trashed by its own citizens, it is suffering from a poor self-image. How can we expect to attract new residents, jobs and businesses when it is obvious that we don't even care enough to keep our own city clean? Have we no shame? We pay User Fees and business owners pay a Business and Occupation Tax. The money collected by the City of Huntington is supposted to go, in part, toward the costs associated with the enforcement of our city's ordinances. Why are we not enforcing our present ordinances related to littering and solid waste disposal? What is wrong with this picture?
