HSV Progressive

Good old fashioned I take a full hour to talk about a city council meeting - - starting to feel some of the burden and pressure of work to melt a bit during this winter break! - - also 7 Dec County Commission BRIEF observations (listen and you'll see why). I was going to work on some desk organizing but I think I'm done for today and am going to have a piece of pumpkin pie. Hope you are all well - - happy holidays! Probably one more episode before the end of the year - - stay tuned and keep up the good activism! Thank you!

Thanks for tuning in for my take on Planning Commission Nov meeting, 23 Nov meeting for Madison County Commission comments, and more than you ever wanted to consider about the 1st Dec Huntsville City Council meeting. 

Holiday city councils are sometimes short - - this one was pretty short, some interesting hints are coming attractions, nonetheless! Tune in! Thanks.

What's keeping me from the microphone and what's due!

We talk a bit about alternatives to policing as it exists now - - constraints on how power is shared to do anything about it. 

Keep having those conversations! Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving - - broadcasting from ancestral lands of the Chickasaw, Coushatta, Alabashehati, Creek, Shawnee, and Cherokee.
