The Mayor is very willing to talk to anyone about issues or concerns relevant to the City. The best way get time with the Mayor (rather than trying arrange a personal appointment on the Issues List) is to do one of two things: First, the Mayor regularly hosts open houses when individuals (no media) can speak directly with the Mayor. The next open house will be on January 28, 2004 from 12 - 1 here in City Hall, 350 S. Fifth Street, Room 333; Second, all requests for media interviews should be directed to the Mayor's press secretary, Laura Sether, at 612/673-2109. Thank you. Erik Takeshita Senior Policy Aide Office of Mayor R.T. Rybak 350 S. 5th Street, Room 331 Minneapolis, MN 55415

(I already knew that).... have my interview with MNDOT on film. Since that was not the point of my post to him.. I responded that he had not answered my question. which was--- will he or the mayor talk about their feelings about the bridge rods being put up? I prefer to call them "Dog in the Manger Rods?-- you know, that dog coudn't and did not want to eat hay, but he would not let those cows or sheep eat it. What is the loss of political capital (sp?) to voice a normal reaction of outrage about those bridge rods? Margaret Hastings-Mpls-Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
