As a City Councilor, I often get information at Council meetings, from neighborhood groups or on-line that you might be interested in getting as well. I've set up a variety of different email lists to make sure that people get only the information they're most interested in. Generally, I may send, on average, a few emails to each list per month. You can check out some sample emails and, if you like them, let me know which lists you'd like to be on.
And if you've got your own ideas for a list, please feel free to let me know that as well. If there's enough interest, I'll put one together.
I send these emails via blind copy, so unless I make a mistake no one should get your email address. And I won't share my lists with anyone, so you shouldn't wind up getting anything beyond what you've signed up for.
