City Council Meeting: 7 December 2020

Is local politics secretly boring? Co-hosts Michelle Hughes, Molly Kleinman, and Jess Letaw take up the question while preparing for Ann Arbor's next City Council meeting on December. 7th, 2020.

They discuss the police purchasing contracts, and why ICPOC and budget season are the best ways to get involved for folks working to bring Black Lives Matter home. They also take up water rates, development, and sidewalk taxes, and why residents are - often unfairly - asked to make a lot of decisions that could be more centralized within the city. They end by dreaming up new things that City Council could be working on.
