Final preparations for the June 9 elections for the offices of Richmond County Sheriff, Marshal, and Coroner. Candidates discuss their biggest accomplishments and what they would make happen for Augusta. Given recent events, I could not help but speak about violence perpetrated bylaw enforcement against African Americans, subsequent protests, and the Augusta Riot of May 1970

Public Safety from Rodney King to George Floyd, and Oh, Our candidates too

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
