Many of us are getting "robocalls" from Mayor Ellen Moyer telling us about the imminent arrival of the city magazine. Yawn. Why did she wait until the end to identify herself and say it was paid for by Friends of Ellen Moyer? I guess that answers part of the question about why she is raising money. It' so she can call to tell us that we are getting a magazine that tells us all the good things she is doing...so she can get more money from some of us...and then tell us more about what she is doing....or something like that. At least she did not use it to tell us to vote against the City Manager Charter Amendment.
It will be interesting to see if the Transportation Department--the one department visibly absent from the last issue-and the only one with a full-time marketing person--makes a submission to this issue. I have praised this particular magazine in a previous post. There is a lot of good to be said about it and it came out of the idea of saving money on printing multiple publications from various departments, mainly parks and recreation. Although I find the issues to be very "busy" and overfilled with lots of teeny photos, and much of it is the mayor tooting her own horn, it does fill a valuable purpose in informing us about our government.
