I'm meeting with Former Columbus Mayor Greg Lashutka (1992-2000) in a few weeks to talk about a variety of current city and civic issues.
Anyone have any questions for him?

Does he believe Columbus is going in the right direction? If not, what would he do to make it so.
Thanks.
I'd like to hear his thoughts on the pros and cons of a Columbus casino.
Where he sees Columbus in 2012/the city's bicentennial
Do Republicans have a future in city leadership? Or was he the last we'll be seeing? I don't think one party dominance is good at any level of government.
In late 1999 he gave the commencement speech at Ohio State. I wish I had a copy of that speech. He predicted a never ending, never popping, dot com bubble.
Every graduate also got a free surprise one year life insurance policy courtesy of Greg. Of course Nationwide Insurance also automagically added you to their spam lists courtesy of information gleaned from the OSU registrar.
Ask him if he called it a "win, win".
I think this is an interesting interview choice. He's been out of the public eye for so long and I miss having him as our Mayor. Here's a few questions that come to mind:
Do you think the City's snow removal efforts have improved since you were Mayor?
What do you think of the current City Council election process?
Do you believe $400mil for the 3C Rail Corridor is a wise use of federal tax dollars?
I apologize in advance, but I'm compelled to answer.

I attended that December '99 commencement address (my only regret was missing Gee's signature on my diploma by a quarter or two.). In Lashutka's defense, there were not any local leaders predicting a dot com crash.
during your time in office,there was a short lived smoking ban.
how do you feel about the present smoking ban in Franklin county?

Heh. He was actually at the CU Meetup last month at the Thurber Bar and we decided then about doing an interview. ;)
