Here are just a few of the municipal leaders who have worked to take our collective future into their own hands."
There's the expected usuals:
Michael Bloomberg, New York City
Greg Nickels, Seattle
Gavin Newsom, San Francisco
Richard Daley, Chicago

Ed Malloy, Fairfield, Iowa
Jerramiah Healy, Jersey City
Elaine Walker, Bowling Green, Ky
