Mayor Susan Whelchel of Boca Raton, where many Pepper Pikers winter, blogs, tweets and Facebooks

Many thanks to my mother for emailing me about Mayor Susan Whelchel's blog.  Of particular interest will be her front page information, which is all about the efforts they've been making in the face of budget constraints.  That information, however, does need to be put into perspective, especially for anyone who has never been to Boca: it's a big city with many revenue sources, including massive tourism - something I'm thinking Pepper Pike just isn't about to start relying on (or having too much of). But regardless, Mayor Whelchel has a bona fide Internet presence, even through just a simple ole Yahoo blog.
