On The Next Ask The Mayor

Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan – March 2010

As the only one of our four beloved mayors to actually conduct his show in our studios, Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan will stop by March 17 to add to his Ask the Mayor library and legacy.

We will press the mayor on reactions to his State of City address last month. The mayor is already facing opposition from members of the Bloomington City Council to a proposed water bill hike.

In 2009’s SoC speech, Kruzan announced the Kirkwood “local businesses only” initiative, as well as a focus on expanding affording housing. We’ll get an update on those efforts.

This month we’re asking all our mayors how they see the stimulus package a year later. Columbus and Terre Haute’s heads didn’t have the best things to say about the process and payoff, so we’ll see if Mayor Kruzan shares these sentiments.

And as always, we’ll take your phone calls and emails. Thanks for listening.

Ask the Mayor airs Wednesday at 12:06 p.m. on WFIU HD1.
