Forum: Current Events Topic: Mayor Eaton hand written note started by: Liberal Posted by Liberal on Mar. 09 2004,12:18 am
There was a story on KIMT about the station sending out 30 letters to area politicians. The letter was sent by someone working for the station and asked the politician some questions about the foster care system. Out of a dozen responses mayor Eatons made the biggest impression. She respond right away with a hand-written response. That's pretty good considering the letter likely had a Mason City return address.

Was this the person with an Iowa address? She should check her mail, I thought it was odd that some one from Iowa would send a letter, but I sent a response back. I remember it because of the person being out of state.
