Paul has proclaimed me to be the new Public Relations director (e:news,80). Cool. We talked over a few ideas last night, the bumper sticker initiative being just one of them. Since he hasn't yet posted the others, I'm going to toss them out here.
- featured content, excerpts of posts and comments, pictures or sounds, selected based on a vote by (e:peeps).
- featured peeps - like a peep of the week.
- a print version that "teases" site content for distribution in local hangouts and haunts.
- incentives for bringing in new peeps.
- publicity. No set goal for this, but as much as possible.

I had another thought this evening but I"m floating it by (e:paul) first.

Buffalopundit has a post about Thruway tolls and some steps being taken by local politicians to remove the toll barriers in WNY.
As BP says, go tell the NYS Thruway Authority what you think . You can post your questions to the TA and their answers in my comments - I want to see if they send the same canned answer to all.

My question: Why has the Thruway Authority refused to remove the toll barriers in western New York as mandated by the 1968 Niagara Toll Removal Act?

Their answer: Thank you for contacting the New York State Thruway Authority.
The Thruway Authority collects tolls as a means to providing public transportation services in western New York and across the State. As a user-fee supported system, the Authority receives no State tax dollars, and is paid for by the travelers who use it, an estimated one-third of whom are from out of state.
The Authority is not a trustee of the Niagara Thruway Toll Removal Fund, and to the best of our knowledge, the agreement between the State, the Thruway Authority and the Federal government contemplated by the statute was never executed. No monies have been allocated or appropriated to the Thruway Authority from this fund, and the State has never received Federal money that is eligible to pay for the removal of tolls along the New York State Thruway.
We hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Department of Public Affairs

A cautionary note for those interested in home brewing: you may, at some point, hear the words "one of the bottles might have exploded." When you hear that, the bottle most definitely did explode.
