The Next DPPA Project: City Councilor and Mayoral Report Cards You’ve heard of The Golden Fleece Award, the Nero Award, the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Award - all given to lawmakers. Now, the Duluth Public-Policy Alliance will join the movement by issuing yearly ``report cards'' to City Councilors and the mayor. These yearly reviews will grade the elected officials on such criteria as attendance at Council meetings, attitude toward the public, and willingness to explain their votes. (No positions on particular issues will be graded.) Watch this winter for more details.
