Mayor Greg Nickels to take calls on The
Seattle Channel
SEATTLE — Mayor Greg Nickels will take calls from
listeners during "Ask the Mayor" at 7 p.m. on October 10, 2002.
Among topics for discussion is Mayor Nickels’ proposed
budget which recently was forwarded to the City Council. The 2002-03 budget
focuses on basic City services and "taking care of business," while
responding to a $60 million revenue shortfall. Information about the proposed
budget is posted on the mayor’s home page (http://cityofseattle.net/mayor).
The live call-in show will be hosted by C.R. Douglas on
Seattle’s municipal cable channel. The call-in number is (206) 684-8821.
Douglas will also collect email questions for the mayor through 5 p.m. the day
of the show. Send your queries to this email address: seattle.citizen@seattle.gov
The Seattle Channel is available on channel 21 for
AT&T Broadband cable customers and channel 28 for Millennium cable
customers. About 58 percent of Seattle residents subscribe to cable television.

the Internet. The same programming carried on the city municipal channel is
simultaneously streamed on-line. To link to the live stream or for The Seattle
