Question for the Mayor? 'Hangout' Face to Face.

Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke is holding a video conference with constituents at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Online, Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke will try anything to connect with his constituents. He is already active on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Vine.

On Tuesday, he's using Google Plus' video 'Hangout' feature to speak face-to-face with Shakopee residents.

"Before I took office, I had the great fortune of chatting with many residents on our listening tour," he wrote in an email to Shakopee residents. "Easily the most successful was an online chat and I would like to begin having monthly video chats through Google Hangout and want to hear from you."
