This week's episode of Tying It Together with Tim Boyum should get your spirits back up in regards to politics and the younger generation. 

Twenty-three-year-old Mitchell Whitley is on a mission to meet all 552 North Carolina mayors.

He's doing this to learn more about our state, but also the challenges our communities we face. Eventually, he plans to write a book and could even run for office some day himself. Wait until you hear some of his stories about driving a mayor in a town's Christmas parade or another town where buzzards appear to be the biggest concern.
