How many of you ever got a chance to interact with Bronco or Duerr? Was that a good thing for the city? Did you feel connected to your elected representatives? Did you ever even have discussions with your colleagues about the mayor more than once a year?
In the time it took me to type this, Nenshi has retweeted two lost pets to an audience of 285,000 people.
