This survey creates a rationale for concrete proposals, created from leading questions and bias, intended or not.
It creates momentum and expectations.

I don't think hiring consultants for basic early stage surveys like this is a good use of money. The survey seems perfectly fine for the task, which is identifying resident priorities and identifying possible projects. Consultants make more sense when there are actual concrete proposals on the table.

Certainly.
Later today.
In the future, Lincoln voters and taxpayers would benefit from employing professionals in constructing important surveys that in involve major policy, zoning and fiscal matters.
We have budgeted for consultants and professionals in the recent past.
I would urge us to continue in matters such as these.

Sara,

Can you be more specific? And indicate how you would change the survey to be less biased?

OK-Can you now address the matter of leading questions and inherent bias?
