Joseph Blackman, Founder of Vitendo Solutions and host of The Public Works Podcast, joins us to discussion the most hidden of all local government services: Public Works. We touch on the "Brain Drain" that has resulted in loss of institutional history, how few people know what public works is, and how expensive it is to taxpayers when staff don't use and maintain equipment properly. We also discuss how to overcome these challenges through effective workforce development strategies.
