This particular interview is a milestone for Meet.The.Bloggers*. Eric Brewer, the Mayor of East Cleveland is the only elected official to do a second interview with us. It had been almost a year since our first conversation, and much had improved since we last spoke. We agree with Mayor Brewer—as we were wrapping up he said this conversation was as enjoyable as the first. We look forward to visiting him again and are encouraged by the progress East Cleveland is making—particularly when it comes to its citizens engaging in government.
