Comments on: Mayor Hotline May 15 to 22 https://boiseguardian.com/2009/05/29/mayor-hotline-may-15-to-22/ A different slant on the news. Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:53:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sara https://boiseguardian.com/2009/05/29/mayor-hotline-may-15-to-22/#comment-13149 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:53:50 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=2770#comment-13149 I guess I should have made myself clear. I was wondering if they transcribed the lady from Sacramento because if they do, that would be a real waste of time and taxpayer’s dollars to pay for that time.

So my question again, Dave do they transcribe the lady from Sacramento?

EDITOR NOTE–They DO NOT transcribe her and we don’t publish the stuff anymore either because it is just “out there” and makes no sense.

Do they transcribe them Dave?

EDITOR NOTE–They do transcribe them. Some of our very best stories come from the weekly memo. If they didn’t transcribe them, councilors would easily ignore the VOICE of the people. The HOTLINE is a very popular feature and prevents the thing from being just a
“placebo” to make folks THINK the Mayor is listening. Our first world wide GUARDIAN story came from the hotline caller complaining about the ZAMBONI trip to Burger King at midnight….Boise got world acclaim on that one!

As you can see by the times listed, she calls *a lot*!

The Guardian used to run the transcripts, but they were incredibly long, and none of us could ever figure out what she was talking about … just ramble, ramble, ramble.

Guardian: I’d like it if you’d occasionally run a sample of her calls, so new people can get an idea of what they are, and the rest of us can have fun trying to make sense out if them.
