39: Left of Lansing Podcast--Episode 39: Ottawa Co. Politics & More with Joe Spaulding


Listen Later

Wow, 39 episodes are in the can!

This week, I speak with progressive activist Joe Spaulding on the right wing movement happening with the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners as they passed a resolution declaring the county a "constitutional county." It's quite similar to what the equally extreme right wing Livingston County Board of Commissioners recently did as well. Joe Spaulding talks about how he and others are trying to fight back in that western Michigan county. And Joe gives shares some of his experiences while working on the "Voters Not Politicians" ballot proposal, which ended our state's gerrymandering in 2018. Plus, he gives his thoughts on the Republican effort to ban TikTok in the United States, which is really an attack on younger voters.

Please, follow Joe Spaulding on Twitter!

I talk about how refreshing it is to be a progressive broadcaster after spending years in the corporate right wing radio world. I share my ambivalence with the Mackinac Policy Conference, particularly since one of the most consequential and disastrous bills signed into law happened during that same conference a few years ago. That's when Gov. Whitmer signed the awful auto insurance "reform" bill. What makes it worse is who surrounded her as she signed the bill. 

The "Last Call" focuses on how "Greedflation" is the true mechanism which caused inflation.

Enjoy!
