Post in State of the City - New Voices

Mar 26 14:11 UTC

One comment I heard last night from a staffer at city hall, was that
the St. Paul Issues Forum is dominated by about six people. He'd like
to hear from more people.

While, I disputed his perception, its something that we hear
frequently about SPIF.

In fact, so far this month alone 57 DIFFERENT people have posted
messages in SPIF. In March of 2006, we set a record (for the last 3
years) with 126 DIFFERENT participants posting messages in SPIF in a
single month.

We know that the Mayor ("Hi, Mayor Coleman!") and his staff are
watching the forum particularly close this week. I think it would be
great to hear from some of our lurkers, in particular this week. We
ought to be able to get a least 100 different voices into the forum
this month.

Here is your chance to comment on the "State of the City."

   What do you think is going well in St. Paul?
   What do you think needs improvement?
   Do you have a St. Paul story to tell, that you think might
      help illustrate the "State of the City?"
