Now that city council member Jean Godden and I are, like, totally BFFs on Twitter, she's sending along this open letter to Ed Murray, dated this Wednesday (a PDF of the letter so you can actually read it is right here.):

Dear Ed Murray...
  • Dear Ed Murray...

Really, this is just a "Hi, there, Ed! Nice ladies you hired. Talk to you in January!" But it's nice to see she's staying on topic and publicly announcing her intentions to work with him on the issue. Given that Kshama Sawant has also signaled she wants to work with the mayor-elect on minimum wage issues, if they keep on it, city hall's biggest policy discussions could be refreshingly non-sausagefesty in 2014. HOORAY!

(Unrelated, but notable: Yesterday, Godden ate crickets for lunch.)
