What the heck is a "warrant article" and what does it have to do with property taxes? Should you go to a deliberative session? (yes!) Okay, fine, but what is it? 

Liz talks with Niko Papakonstantis, the Chair of the Exeter Select Board, about what issues towns face when New Hampshire and the federal government cut services and funding.

Niko asks Liz what folks have against street sweepers. Liz asks Niko what "work-life balance" means.
