It’s local election season here, and along with the crocuses, candidate lawn signs are starting to pop up in yards all over town.
Today, we’ll be talking with one of the candidates who’ll be vying for an open Select Board seat in the upcoming town elections, and one of your friendly hosts even has a surprise announcement of his own. (Hint: His name may also be on the ballot on May 25.)
If you’re here for the first time, the Top Left Corner is a locally focused weekly live internet radio show and podcast based in Williamstown, Mass. We do our best to wade through the spin and biases and cowardice and bring back the important stuff that most of us really care about. Every Wednesday, we’re going to tell you what we think about local current events and the national stories that directly affect the people of Williamston and Berkshire County. We also interview amazing guests.
–Jay and Steve
