Today we are taking a deeper dive into City leadership, because there's more to council than just the resolutions. We’re talking about different visions for the city and how those affect the choices our leaders make, along with personalities, power, and local news. We even get into our first conspiracy theory.

Links from the show:

•  Chuck Marohn's article on the good party/bad party analogy

•  The a2council hashtag on Twitter
•  Cohost Michelle's Twitter, in case you want to mainline those good good civics
