Several months back I attended a very interesting event put on by Politic 2.0. It was a really neat opportunity to interract directly with a local Utah politician, ask the question that you always wonder why no one asks, and help choose which proposed questions will be put forth next.
Well, they’re back. The Politic 2.0 folks have announced an upcoming event with a couple (possibly more) of the Salt Lake Mayoral Candidates.ÂÂ
From the Politic 2.0 website:
“Politic 2.0 was created in April 2007 to answer the frustration of voters around the nation on two levels. Voters have lately been frustrated with both politicians and the traditional media outlets in trying to get substantive information about policy issues. Voters have also been frustrated because more and more people are using the Internet to find political information, yet find that the information they’re looking for is hard to locate, disorganized, and biased.”
“ConventionNEXT will not only allow candidates to speak to participants in the room, but will also facilitate interaction between them, and broadcasts the forum live through the Politic2.0 website.”
“Candidates Jenny Wilson and Ralph Becker have confirmed their willingness to participate. Other declared candidates have been invited, and subsequent media advisories will be posted to announce other participants.”
Well, sounds good to me! I am also planning on grabbing some dinner over at Rio Grande prior to the event (probably around 5:00.) Anyone care to join me?
