In the mood for some quality entertainment tonight? Well alright then. Catch Eden Prairie’s own Jeff Strate KTCA (Channel 2)TV’s Almanac tonight at 7pm.
Jeff is an Eden Prairie resident. He is a tireless advocate for Eden Prairie’s natural environment. He pays attention to what the City is doing in the areas of parks, open space management, new development, wildlife management, watershed protection, and all things environmental. I think Jeff dislikes buckthorn as much as I dislike curly pondweed (see yesterday’s post).
One thing you can always count on from Jeff is an air of professionalism in his approach to us. There are times when he wants the City to do something we don’t want to do or don’t think we need to do. And despite the fact that we can sometimes be at odds over an issue, Jeff is always thoughtful and cordial in the way that he conducts himself with staff and elected officials. He has a good way of balancing direct statements with a respectful public and private approach to city government.
Jeff is a good citizen. We’re fortunate to have him as a resident of Eden Prairie. I think I’ll try to catch his show tonight.
