Lexington's Mayor and City Councilmembers cannot do EVERYTHING alone.  In a continually growing city of 280,000 citizens, "The LeXenomics Group" must be a team of experts who not only perform the heavy lifting of building our economy, but also educate officials and administrators with meaningful information, so they can make wise decisions.

For instance - Lexington's and Kentucky's tax climate.  How does that affect our economy, compared to the tax climates of other cities and states?  And who in Lexington is working with Frankfort, at the state level?

Elected officials cannot reasonably be expected to be experts in every field, nor to lead on EVERY issue.  Some might excel in economic development, but many will not.

They need economic experts - dependable, accountable experts - surrounding them, helping them, advising them and informing them, making their jobs that much easier.
