I actually know Hodges and he is old school, but he's a very intelligent person and probably the smartest of the alderman. I wouldn't worry about him not using a computer at all.

I'm not sure who the someone is that you're referring to. If it's me, then I guess you misinterpreted the entire tone of my post. Yours probably was too, to a degree.
There are plenty of times when having a paper copy of something is more convenient. We're talking about a lot of paper here, though. Enough paper that he feels compelled to haul it around not in his briefcase but in the trunk of his car. At that point, you've got to give serious consideration to reducing that paper and using electronic formats is a great start. You don't want to give it a try because you would have to wire up your house for internets? That's kind of weak.

Seems ridiculous to need a paper copy of everything. If you can't follow an agenda electronically maybe you ought not to have input in the millions of dollars of spending that you help oversee each year.

Make sure it's an old school letter. They may have problems receiving an email if it has to get in line in the tubes.
Yah, Hodges is probably being picked on unfairly. For all we know, the mayor doesn't use a computer at home either.
