Every month, Mayor Heartwell is open to all questions sent in during his live on-air show "City Connection."
This month, Rapidian intern DeLeon Miner asked the mayor about Proposition 1, and how it would affect funding for our local schools. On Monday, April 13 at 5:00 p.m. the mayor responded to this and other citizen concerns, and all local citizens were welcome to ask their own questions.
Topics this month included:
- DisArt Festival
- Year of Art & Access
- Strong Neighborhoods, Strong City Summit
- Food infrastructure and access to quality food for all residents
- Proposition 1
- A new park
- Air quality
- The mayor's response to the Indiana Religious Freedom Act
You can add your own questions each month by calling in, emailing, tweeting or just posting a question in the comments section at the bottom of this page.
The show is regularly aired on the first Monday of each month on GRTV, Channel 24 on Comcast, as well as live-streaming right here on The Rapidian.
For 18 years, the mayors of Grand Rapids have hosted City Connection, a monthly, live call-in show on GRTV’s Livewire, Comcast channel 24. Mayor John Logie started the program in 1992 as a way to share mayoral perspective with Grand Rapidians and to bring a little more transparency to local government. City Connection is an opportunity to interact directly with one of our city’s top elected officials.
