"Ask the Mayor" - New Weymouth talk show features Mayor Hedlund fielding viewers questions.

During the campaign last fall, Mayor Bob Hedlund enjoyed meeting local residents to talk about their primary concerns about the town.  He now hopes to address a range of questions from Weymouth residents in a new talk show format that he is developing with the local cable channel, WETC-11.

The program to be called "Ask the Mayor" will be a half hour format and provides residents the opportunity to ask the Mayor questions, or opine on any subject they wish.  Residents can email their questions to a designated email address: askmayorbob@gmail.com.  The mayor will then answer the questions on air in the relaxed manner he is known for.  The talk show is modeled after a popular program that aired on WSBK-TV38 years ago called, "Ask the Manager".

Additionally Mayor Hedlund will continue to host an informational program started by Mayor Susan Kay, known as "Mayor's Monthly Forum" on WETC that features local department heads and community leaders on a variety of topics.

Along with Weymouth government meetings, the Mayor's program will also be posted to WETC's website, Weymouth.TV.

Weymouth residents should submit questions today in order to have them included in the first program.  Email address: askmayorbob@gmail.com.
