Blogs with Give & Take
Let’s Talk Connecticut is a blog by Kevin B. Sullivan who is the state’s Lieutenant
Governor. I am always interested in finding political blogs or administrative educational blogs where
public input is actually sought. Now this blog asks questions and you
have some comments but note this particular comment. It should be noted
that it is from “Anonymous”.
It has been 10 days and there are no new posts and one post has been removed.
The writing is on the wall.
Will you let this blog rot or will you delete it?
There is a Republican Mafia in this state, will you help us fight it?
Those that have lived long and seen it all know what is really wrong with Connecticut.
Anyone
in or out of the inside circle that tells it like it is has been burned
beyond recognition. This blog tells me you are one of the few that
hasn’t been tainted by being in the Connecticut Mafia.
I would be glad to have you to our dinner table in what is now my twilight.
Sir, please don’t lose the spark that prompted you to start this blog.
What is even more interesting is that there is no reply to the comments from Mr. Sullivan. Unlike this blog, Tom Watson,
from the UK. Now I am NOT interested in these blogs for the political
commentary.(at least not at the moment) I find the conversations
most interesting on Tom Watson’s blog. It is rich with ‘give and take’
conversations. I am looking for blogs here in the U.S. that have the
politicians or administrators really responding, where there is back and forth dialog. I know of Clayton Wilcox’s The Classroom
Anyone know of any others?

look at http://www.steveu.com/blog for an example of an elected official using his blog to communicate and receive feedback.

Thanks, David! There don’t seem to be too many of these types of blogs out there yet.
