The Data Port checked in with City Council offices to see what the levels of e-mail traffic were prior to last night’s vote.

A spokesman at Regina Romero’s Ward One office estimated that the office received approximately 140 e-mails in support of the Rialto Theater.

Rodney Glassman’s Ward 2 office: 100, mostly Rialto related.

Shirley Scott, Ward 4:  ”Mayor and Council comment line was bombarded” according to a spokesperson. In addition the office estimates that they received about 50, concerned about the future of the Rialto Theater.

Steve Leal’s Ward 5 spokesman, Barbara Jordan, estimated that they received about 300 e-mails to “save the Rialto.”

Nina Trasoff, Ward 6 : The Data Port spoke with Trasoff, who estimated that e-mail traffic related to last night’s vote was between 150 and 200. Trasoff sent The Data Port a copy of the e-mail she sent to people who had e-mailed her. The Data Port will discuss that in a later post.

Karen Uhlich’s Ward Three office will be getting back to us.

It’s apparent that most of the concern about the Stiteler plan centered around the Rialto Theater. There are other issues, of course, mostly about the overall financial wisdom of the deal. Those are the subject of a future post.
