This was a nice piece. I don't know how much raw footage you have of you interviewing the mayor or your time limits on this
Piece but I would of loved to hear at least 2:00 minutes more of the mayor speaking. I would of liked to hear his opinions on poverty in the United States, the social problems of the black community and if there is a solution to fix any of these problems. One of the things that struck out to me was his interest in R. Kelly. Now don't get me wrong I appreciate R. Kelly's music and all but my opinion doesn?t matter. As an elected official it would be interesting to hear his take on Kelly's serious legal problems. I was surprised that he would say he liked his music just for fear of other political opponents using his interest in the controversial musician to attack him in any future political events. But besides that issue you had a really strong piece. Best of luck to you on future projects.
