Fave news story of the day: what one mayor is doing for his city

It seems as though amazing acts of kindness and generosity happen sparingly nowadays. But one New Jersey mayor confirmed that they do happen.

Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory Booker proved that in his line of business, he works for the people. And with help -- no less -- from social media. Booker has taken to his Twitter account to communicate with Newark residents, snowbound and immobile. And not only has he tweeted at and direct message'd a number of individuals. He's also showed up on their doorsteps, at their cars, and on their streets. The New York Daily News reports.
