No Tolls Press Conference this Morning

Candidates Jackie Green, Shannon White, Chris Thieneman, and Jonathan Robertson joined Tyler Allen at a press conference this morning before the Bi-State Authority meeting. The press conference was organized by the group "Say No to Tolls."

Today's meeting had a different format than the last one, with public input coming last after the meeting. Most of the networks were there this morning so check out tonight's news! Marcus Green with the CJ already has put up a little on it: LINK

Forecastle Press Conference

Okay, this has nothing to do with the mayor race. Well, sort of nothing. I mean, when Tyler becomes mayor, groovy stuff like the Forecastle Festival, and it's creative superstar founder, J.K. McKnight, will be nourished and encouraged. It's part of unleashing the talent we already have here...

David Karem, president and executive director of Waterfront Development Corporation, announced today that this year's festival will be held on Waterfront Park. That's awesome, because Waterfront Park is awesome (See 8664).

J.K. McKnight announced the headliners this year will be Flaming Lips, Widespread Panic and Spoon. There will be 60 other performers, too! More headliners will be announced in April. J.K. also revealed this year's Forecastle poster, too!

Education Press Conference Footage!

If you're looking for a bumper sticker, or a piece of our slick new literature, look for us at Saturday's St. Patrick's parade in the Highlands.

We won't be in the parade, but on the sidewalk talking to folks. Look for us! (We'll be the crew trying to make black and blue coordinate with green.)
