“Let’s be honest. Any elected official should be happy whenever a constituent takes the time to make the call or send an e-mail. It’s a chance to make a one-to-one connection with a citizen, much more valuable than a campaign flyer or a quick, 10-second front-porch greeting during a political campaign. It’s also an opportunity to gauge public support, check the temperature of the citizenry, and to get a general feel for how your city, state, or country is doing.”
~Steve Scaffidi, alderman representing the 3rd District of Oak Creek
