You can read the complete Huckleberries Gone Wireless interview between DFO and Mayor Sandi Bloem from Coffeeville Thursday morning below:

HBO: What are you drinking?
Sandi: Short nonfat latte, compliments of DFO.

HBO: Will you seek a third term?
Mayor: I have two and a half years left to decide that. I enjoy what I’m doing enough that if you ask me today I would.

HBO: Does the city still have specific plans for Sanders Beach?
Mayor: The city’s position has always been to gain as much access to the water for the public as possible. Knowing that, we continue to look at all options for Sanders Beach. The decision helped us to know exactly what the private parties own. What the public owns. How we proceed. As long as all parties are open to communication.

DFO: Is there still a lot of ill will between the parties?
Mayor: There is no illwill on the part of the council toward anyone. Only the other party can answer their part.

DFO: What is your relationship with Duane Hagadone right now?
Mayor: We have an open line of communication. We meet occasionally as I do with many others to discuss issues, common challenges.
