During the recent snowstorm, Newark Cory booker connected with his constituents who were trapped by communicating with them through Twitter. After he found those who needed the most help, he went out there and dug them out himself. This has won him a lot of love from his people whereas New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg got stuck defending his snow-removal efforts. It makes for an interesting case for making local leaders more accessible to their constituents, doesn’t it?
