10 greatest local needs

Here's a question for readers:

Let's say we compile a list of the 10 greatest needs our local legislators should address. What should be on that list?

I would like to invite a couple of local legislators to an editorial board meeting soon. As part of that, I would like to have a list of 10 things we could talk about.

So, what should be on that list?

Your ideas should be specific, but not too specific. Rather than "better roads," say "widen Route 10" or "improve Route 2." Rather than "more funding for schools," say what that funding is needed for, such as classroom supplies.
