Mayor Heartwell and Linda Gellasch in a previous episode of City Connection
UPDATED: article now includes video of the February 7, 2011 edition of City Connection, courtesy of GRTV
Starting this year, City Connection, Mayor Heartwell's live interactive public show has been simulcast right here on The Rapidian on every first monday of the month here on the The Rapidian. The program, now in its 19th year, is currently hosted by Grand Rapids mayor George Heartwell and GRCMC's Linda Gellasch, and is an opportunity for Grand Rapidians to talk with our mayor about important city issues.
Some quick homework:
- First, read Mayor Heartwells truly heartfelt response to the editor of Newsweek Magazine, which recently placed Grand Rapids in their list of "America's top-ten dying cities"
- Second, read Ruth Terry's well reasoned response to Heartwell, calling out some specific areas where our city could grow with regards to diversity, public transit, and air travel
Now, after reading those two articles, got any questions for Mayor Heartwell? Leave it in the comments below, email cityconnection@grcmc.org, tweet @GRTVaccess, or leave a Facebook comment. Tune in at 5 p.m. to hear him respond to you live on GRTV’s Livewire (channel 24 on Comcast) and streaming on this very page.
See you back here at 5!

The comment you asked last month will be posed to the Mayor tonight at 5!
I'd like to hear the Mayor address the vandalism issue on two fronts.
1. What is being done from a law enforcement perspective to both prevent further vandalism and catch those responsible.
2. What are his thoughts on the gentrification issue as a whole?
Felt like my two part question received a no part answer ;)
Does anyone know the status of the investigation and then what is being done regarding preventing another round of vandalism?
Thanks!
