This week, controversy over expanding high speed broadband internet service into under-served areas in Ohio, as well as an attempt to block new, and existing publicly owned broadband networks.

As the first day of summer approaches, and with vaccinated folks feeling comfortable getting out and gathering again, cities such as Akron have the chance to bounce back from a bleak 2020.

James Hardy is the deputy mayor of Akron, and he joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to talk about the events that are happening around the city, from gatherings at Lock 3 to the summer concert series. Hardy also touched on the small business activity and their comeback, which he says are the backbone of the community.

Akron City Council President, Margo Sommerville, explained pending legislation that would require police to release body cam recordings of deadly incidents within seven days.

Ray Horner talked to City Planning Director, Jason Segedy about it today.
