Ask the kids, "What Local Problems Do You Think Your Mayor Should Try to Solve?"

This is the question asked by the New York Times of New York City kids this week.

The Brockporter is asking this same question of Brockport kids. Maybe their parents could help them.

I'll bet there isn't a kid in Brockport who knows who his/her mayor is, let alone what problem(s) he/she would like to see the mayor work on.

But let's pretend that kids in Brockport were more involved in the politics of the Village and ask them what concerns and ideas they have.

Let's not pretend though, let's really ask them.

If you are a parent or a teacher will you ask them and leave the answer in the comments or send the question and answer to davidgmarkham@gmail.com

Who is your mayor? What has he or she done that you admire? What local problems plague your community or city? What might your mayor do to help solve them?
