Ultimately this episode is about Ed Burke's current, and long time coming, legal woes. We also talk about all the things he tried ban as well as his time as Trump's property tax appeals attorney.
Down ballot votes and local media matters.
Alyssa tries to make "Burke" a verb. You should too. It's the new "dibs."
We also talk about dramaturgy.
