I always get lots of favorable comments when I post examples of the feedback, questions, and comments I receive about my blog. I try to put a few of my favorites together a couple of times each year. Here’s what I’ve got for today:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear Scott: Any chance of getting that RV dump going. Every year I see more and more RV’s in EP and of course the few hundred who visit Walmart. The closest dump to us is Shakopee. I have a feeling that a lot of sewage is going to the wrong place. Can you help us get this in EP.
Scott said: I told this reader that we could ask the Met Council about this idea, but that the prospect of success was not good.

Dear Scott: I would like to apoligize for my anonymous email I sent earlier this year, on the subject of the developement of the Mississippi River valley bluffs. I suppose I am just angered and saddend by this beautiful, historical land area becoming more and more privatized by single family housing. I grew up in the southwest metro area, and on numerous occasions explored the bluff area in the summer months. This area should be protected and preserved.
Scott said: I thanked her for her apology and told her how rare it is for those of us in public service to receive apologies for this sort of thing. I told her about the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area and encouraged her to come out and see it. It is the City’s newest effort to preserve exactly the kind of land she is conerned about.

Dear Scott: I am a faculty member at the Truman School of Public Affairs (University of Missouri). I have published several recent papers on the potential effects of municipal government web pages on citizen involvement.
I am now interested in studying the use of blogs, wikis, etc. I’m impressed with your blog. I was wondering if you know of other colleagues using blogs to inform residents. Also — when your time allows, I’d really like to get your thoughts on blogging opportunities and challenges for city officials, public response, and any other reactions.
Thanks in advance for your consideration. Of course, I’d be happy to share copies of my papers if you’re interested.
Best regards
Scott said: Sure. I participated. I haven’t seen the final product yet.

Dear Scott: Stupid question Scott, I am interested in what software you are using for you blogs? Thanks again!
Scott said: Actually not a stupid question at all. The blog is hosted at Blogger.com. I use their standard template and whatever software is included in it. It seems to work well for me.

Thanks for all the feedback, questions, and comments. The blog wouldn’t be worth doing with your interest.
