Why I Like Mayor Mick …

Today I threw some hardball questions at him, did some tough analysis of his handling of MAPS 3 on the blog, and when I hit him up at the press conference Thursday, he found a way to remind everybody that even when we’re in potentially adversarial positions, we can still keep it friendly.

Thanks to David Holt, the mayor’s aide, for grabbing this video and emailing it. Everybody, be sure to have a great July 4th weekend. And if you want to start up a great new tradition of having a free outdoor downtown symphony performance every July 4th weekend, you’ve got to start it. The Red White and Boom performance starts at 8:45 p.m. in the parking lot east of the ballpark and will be followed by fireworks. Also be sure to fill the seats Friday night (Saturday there will be no performance) for the Shakespeare in the Park performance at the Myriad Gardens.

Indeed, very good. Is the rest of that press conference available somewhere? I’ve never seen that rendering of future downtown plans.

What were your questions? Is that part of the press conference up anywhere?

You can watch videos about the dedication and the press conference in the rail to the side. The questions I asked were in regard to today’s story about the proposed canal extension.
