Question

How do I write to the mayor to find out about municipal projects?

Community Answer

Most mayors have a direct web page which would include a phone number and email where you can contact them. Your best bet would be to email him/her and be straightforward. Let them know why you want to know about municipal projects and ask in a non-demanding way. Most mayoral departments respond in 2-4 business days.

Question

How should I write a letter to lower my electrical bills as a single person with low wages?

Community Answer

Dear Ms/Mr Mayor, Just inquiring if you have any part time employment, as my family is struggling to pay the electric bill each month. I would much rather ask for the part time work than ask for a hand out to lower my electrical bill.

No. If you're a citizen and old enough to write and post a letter, you're old enough to contact the mayor.

Can I write a letter to the mayor asking to remove a felony charge in the state of Wisconsin?

A mayor does not have the authority to remove anything from a citizen's criminal record. That authority resides solely within courts of law.
