The commission has an agenda full of critical decisions for the direction of the county, but one regarding the future of a Baker Act facility might slip through the cracks. Understanding the PR principle of taking out the trash helps put into context what we should be watching for in the meeting. 

Reaction to the Sunday commentary responds to Cortney Stewart this week, applauding the points she raises even if it gives the appearance of playing into the leftist reputation the Chronicle already has that hurts the publication with its overall subscriber base. Republicans can support the Governor and have concerns over the execution of certain policies. Those conversations are difficult to have but make for an even better leader of our great state. 

Today's show explains how someone can both advocate for closed primaries but also want to investigation into local NPA candidate Paul Grogan resolved. 

The second topic is getting harder each week as the Concurrent stands in agreement with the Chronicle's Sunday commentary but fortunately Mike Wright wrote something this morning that deserves a reaction. 

Competing governing philosophies can be tricky but one that should be indisputable is that elected officials should dictate the actions of an administration. Inverness city council meetings have become a campaign platform for challengers and incumbents alike showing a lack of seriousness toward taking the responsibility of leading which is sorely needed to reverse the apparent direction of power in the city. 

The second topic talks about the Chronicle commentary of increased mental health access, but isn't ready to abandon the hang up in the process which the Chronicle dismissed this weekend. 

Both topics put local spins on three national stories from the last several weeks. 

The first topic explores what happened on primary night in Manatee County to explain the district 2 race in Citrus County. The second topic shows that the Chronicle might be heeding our message strategy suggestions, or at least coincidentally coming to the same conclusion. 

One topic in today's quick show breaking down some of the potential reasoning behind the Chronicle coverage of campaigns the last week. 

The idea of the majority is often at best misunderstood. This podcast takes the information presented in the last two columns more in-depth to describe this. Also, the Sunday Chronicle was riddled with mistakes, which everyone makes, but these have some implications for voters and subscribers that are of note. 

Today's show discusses why it's time for the BOCC to take a hard look at potential conflicts of interest, even if it stirs conflict among friends. 

The second topic reacts to the Chronicle's Sunday commentary, specifically about conflicts between the paper and the Sheriff's Office. 

The Chronicle forum was a success, but tweaks have been made to the scheduling over the last five years. These changes could quickly ruin the feel of the event if they go too far. 

The second column reacts to some of the media about the forum and how cognitive distortions and another psychological principle are at play. 

Many people blame polarization and partisanship for community division, but the real culprit is explained through the difference in independent and dependent variables. 

Topic 2 focuses on the competing letters between the Sheriff and the Publisher of the Chronicle and explains how Bobby got involved last week.
