Not only are we voting to determine who will represent Georgia in the US Senate, we are also selecting a Public Service Commissioner for District 4. Learn how this Commission affects your utility rates and telecommunications services, and how the PSC protects consumers who are in dispute with their utility providers. Incumbent Lauren "Bubba" McDonald talks about what he has accomplished as a Commissioner.

What the heck is the Georgia Public Service Commission? w/Bubba McDonald

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.
