Mayor's Blog Goes to Harvard

A story written by staff writer Jason King and first published in the Daily Herald was recently picked up by the John F. Kennedy School of Government and republished on the internet as part of their "Government Innovators Network."

The story is titled "Mayors find new way to reach constituents-Leaders find internet blogging effective, fun way to communicate." It mentions this blog, as well as a blog written by Mayor Bill Gentes of Round Lake, IL.

As a young man, I earned four college degrees from three different Illinois universities. But, the mayor's blog went to Harvard. Now, that's just cool!
