Seattle's CityClub is putting out the word -- the nonprofit, non-partisan leadership building organization wants community members to come together to discuss the theme "public trust."
CityClub points out that a recent Pew Research Centersurvey finds a perfect storm of conditions associated with distrust of government – a dismal economy, an unhappy public, bitter partisan-based backlash, and epic discontent with Congress and elected officials.
