The Mayor of Salt Lake City

I was reading about Rocky Anderson, the Mayor of Salt Lake City in Nation Magazine. He's an interesting guy. I realize that the source I'm citing is from the "left". But, a creative leader who has made a difference for his community must be commended. Any idea to better people's lives must be listened to. Why Mayor Anderson is not featured prominently in the so-called "mainstream" media is a big question mark for me.
