Deeper Dive: Power, Personalities, and Perceptions of Council

Today we are taking a deeper dive into City leadership, because there's more to council than just the resolutions. We’re talking about different visions for the city and how those affect the choices our leaders make, along with personalities, power, and local news. We even get into our first conspiracy theory.
