This week, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz continues a series of "get to know me" meetings with newly elected alders, including an 8 am session with Michael Shumacher and lunch with Thuy Pham-Remmele on Friday. I wonder how these meetings work, particularly when the rookie alder ran on an anti-Dave platform, as was arguably the case with both Schumacher and Pham-Remmele.
In the case of Pham-Remmele, who famously proclaimed "I thank God I have a life! I don't have time to watch all these boring meetings," during the campaign, the mayor might just hope he won't be stood up.
