Other JohnI think that is a great idea. More local politicians should look at connecting with citizens in this kind of an open fashion. I voted for Mr. Stipes when he first ran for council because I felt like he would bring about new life to the town. So far, I have been quite pleased with what he's done...although I'm no longer a town resident.
