Every month on the first Monday, Mayor Heartwell is open to all questions sent in during his live on-air show "City Connection."
This month, in light of the recent announcement of a new City Hall position of a Communications Director, GRTV intern Jason Domers asked the mayor about what that position will do and how it will benefit the citizens of Grand Rapids. On Monday, June 2 at 5:00 p.m. the mayor responded to this and other citizen concerns, such as the proposed panhandling ordinance that was voted on during the Tuesday City Commissioners meeting.
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 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.
