December 06, 2023 Are we Open-minded Enough to Change?
People decide to start voting for various reasons. Elizabeth Hope Brown always voted in national elections but realized the importance of voting for state and local candidates after working in public service and having kids in the school system. We also talk about what it takes for her to feel more connected to the local government, and how the internet has been a friend to her as she seeks information. We also discuss whether Augusta has diversity, the limited nature of our public transportation system, and concerns about jail overcrowding and the courts.

November 01, 2023 How Can We Better Help the Homeless? with Bethany Trapp
Bethany Trapp of the CSRA Economic Opportunity Authority describes what it is like to serve homeless people. She discusses the work of Augusta's Homeless Task Force, the need for a larger shelter and better coordination of all services, to include mental health, job preparation, and other services. We also tackle the issue of whether the problem is more severe now, or if it is just getting more attention. Furher, she offers her perspective on how many people are homeless by choice.
