Continued from p.l Boosalis said she is not prepared for the city to plan for the 325,000 population figure that has been projected for Lincoln by 2000. "I questioned early in the game this 325,000 figure and am not prepared to plan with that figure," she said. "I don't know any other figure. That's 25 years away and just as past forecasts of population have changed, this too could." She said it is very important for Lincoln to urbanize toward the north, south and west before going east into the Stephens Creek area. Low income and elderly housing in Lincoln are a "real problem," she said, but problems with housing for the middle income also exist. She said that she did not know if the city government could help these people, though, because of inflation, and increased interest rates Jo Bragg said her major concern is what she called a lack of leadership in city government. "The city only acts in crisis situations," she said. "There is a lack of leadership and responsiveness, and a void of action on the city's problems." Bragg, a 30 year-old mother of four, was especially critical of advisory reports done foi the mayor and city council which she said were never implemented. She said one such report was that on police policies and procedures in 1972, when Lincolnite Cleveland Randolph charged the department with mistreatment during his arrest. "Now here we are again and now we're (city residents) paying $50 an hour for it,"she said. Attorney James Bruckner is just concluding a city council investigation for the city council on the Lincoln Police Department's policies in alcohol-related arrests. She said police policies should come under the review of a police commission composed of a variety of citizens. Bragg said the major issue in her campaign is equalization of county and city car taxes by starting a city street use tax, which she said would defer the cost of the motor vehicle tax which is now placed entirely on city residents, and not on county residents living outside the city but working in Lincoln. Bragg worked as economic and manpower coordinator for the Lincoln Action Program for nine months last year, resigning because she said the organization was unstructured. Bragg said she also has been on the mayor's Goals and Policy Committee, worked at the Malone Center for underpriviledged youth (1971) and has worked as a volunteer policewoman since 1973. Bragg is proposing that the Housing Relocation Office, the Housing Authority and the city's housing officer be merged into a housing authority. . She said housing should be the issue which interests and affects students most. "They're (students) getting ripped off, over charged, and are overlooked because they have not become involved or got out and voted," she said. The growth pattern of the city should be concentrated in the North and West, Bragg said. She said there is much city-owned land in these areas which is not yet developed. Another issue she said has not been acted upon is city parking. Bragg said her two opponents have not suggested where more downtown parking can be found. She suggested future parking be allowed only on the perimeters of the city, with shuttle transportation to downtown. However, Bragg sard she would not propose elimination ot downtown parking now available. Bragg said the Centrum project and the proposed Northeast Radial are not "dead issues." Study for the radial is now being done by the mayor's Highway Study Committee, Bragg said, adding that she is opposed to the plans because too many houses would be displaced and tax money would be used to "throw people out of their homes."
