Many of you who regularly comment have already set up your Gravatar. For example, here’s a snapshot of 8 comments attached to the Sweet Lou’s post:
Our guest this week, fittingly so for the first show of the year, was Mary Rossing, the new mayor of Northfield as of Monday evening.
She’s been on the job for dozens of hours but unfortunately, as you’ll hear, has very few accomplishments she can point to. Recall, anyone?
A reception was held at the State Capitol yesterday afternoon to close out the Sesquicentennial and thank everyone involved. (I blogged a photo album of the event here.) The program included the official sealing of the Sesquicentennial Time Capsule.
Our legislators, Sen. Kevin Dahle and Rep. David Bly, signed a Sesqui banner (I missed the deed) which will evidently be placed in the time capsule, to be opened in 50 years for the State’s bicentennial.
I surprised Mayor Mary Rossing in her store Present Perfect this morning with my video camera. I mostly asked her questions that had to do with Monday night’s City Council meeting, which you can read a bit about here. We touched upon her changes in meeting procedure, her tactics on facilitating meetings and her outlook on information exchange in Northfield and on the financial health of the city’s businesses.
Mayor Mary Rossing put on a happy face from outgoing Mayor Lee Lansing at the start of last night’s Northfield City Council meeting.
