Does your city have a local blog?

A long favorite blog of mine is no more. Mayor Sam has said adios.

Mayor Sam (aka Michael Higby) and his cronies covered the politics of Los Angeles for the past 5 1/2 years. While I was not a daily reader I checked in often to see what Mayor Sam was up to.

Every city should have a local blog like Mayor Sam exposing the inside politics of their local government. I sure wish my city had a Mayor Sam digging up and reporting what our newspaper won’t report.

Hopefully many students of the Academy of Local Politics will go on to blog about their city politics. It is a noble endeavour. And your city need not be a big city like Los Angeles. Every small city also needs a Mayor Sam.

So goodbye Mayor Sam. It’s been nice knowing you. You did good.
