Defender Staff Report
Mayor Rahm Emanuel reached out to Chicagoans in a virtual sort of way Thursday, hosting a town hall meeting using the popular social media, Facebook.
#AskChicago, as the event was called, allowed the mayor to chat and communicate directly with citizens all over Chicago. It was the first time a sitting mayor used a live online chat to converse with his constituency, the Mayor's Office reported.
A statement from the Mayor's Office which detailed some facts from the town hall indicated that 598 people were online watched live, 708 people participated online prior to the event and 517 questions were submitted online.
For those people who didn't have Internet access, interactive viewing locations were set up at Kennedy King College in Englewood, Instituto del Progreso Latino in Pilsen and Association House of Chicago in Humboldt Park.
