Well, here they go again. For those thinking the last local election would end drama from the dais or force Lee's Summit City Council members to change their tone, think again. A very simple and seemingly innocuous motion was made during last week's Lee's Summit's City Council meeting. The problem was, the actual content of the motion to add a fourth voting member of the Council's rules committee was the last thing being talked about on the record. Lee's Summit Town Hall hosts Jason Norbury and Nick Parker take a moment to dig into why this debate should've bothered you and how its just another in a long trend of distractions from good governance by people you elected to help run the City we all call home.

But don't you fret, none. Jason and Nick offer a chance for you to feel better in the end. Episode 25 of our now six-month-old podcast introduces you to Hillcrest Transitional Housing director Cotton Sivils. Sivils joined the conversation to not only shed a little light on this community service organization but to also talk about portion of our community in need and the vast network of resources he works with to provide a multi-generational solution to people facing homelessness and financial crisis.
