So how are you keeping your sanity and pursuing good health while you maintain social distance? A conversation with Dayton Sherrouse, Executive Director of the Augusta Canal Authority, about the economic, historical, and recreational significance of the canal and the canal trails. The canal's creation saved Augusta in the 1840s, and is now a vital, but underappreciated asset.

Augusta's Natural Treasures, with Dayton Sherrouse, Augusta Canal Authority

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
