OK, shameless plug time.
Tomorrow afternoon at 5:30, I'm going to interview John W. Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver, about what it takes to be a successful, regional, forward-thinking mayor who manages more than a few challenges.
Snow removal in Denver, anyone?
And this interview is open to the public! You can be a part of the audience, watching our conversation and asking your own questions. The event's sponsor, the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia, keeps comparing it to "Inside the Actor's Studio," which is a little, um, hard for me to process, but it will be fun.
This is part of a series of talks sponsored by the Economy League to share the best practices of governing -- especially from the top guy or gal. Next up: Washington, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams on May 21.
The event is at the Loews Hotel, 12th and Market; There is an admission fee. Information can be found on the Economy League's site.
PS: Let me know if you have a question you want asked...seriously, I'd love input.
PPS: Also, check out the Economy League's survey on the candidates and the budget process -- including, do the candidates think that the public should be involved? Answers so far from Fattah, Knox, Nutter and Brady. (They all said "yes" to that question, but there is far more to learn...)
