On his influence in the city council:

I'm one of the three under-40s.* I'm 37. There's a group of 45-50s and then there are the elder statesmen. I show a lot of them how to do a lot of good things - from clean tech development to showing them ways to use technology in their ward... I showed an alderman EveryBlock recently, and he was skeptical at first... by the end I couldn't tear him away from it. It was the foreclosures he was fascinated by.

First Ward? It's not your father's First Ward! Alderman Flore's representation breathes fresh breath & his approach inspires other Alderpersons to follow his lead on environmental & governmental reform.
