Have you ever stumbled upon a suspicious incident that sent you down a rabbit hole of activism and local government scrutiny? Tia, a digital creator and activist, joins us this week to reveal her own descent into the world of voter concerns and city politics. Together, we unpack the murky waters of election integrity, from ballot bungles to camera capers at polling places. Our back-and-forth takes you deep into the heart of city governance, where clocks don't tick and sewer bills skyrocket. Tia's candid stories and my own forays into challenging local governance will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Navigating the labyrinth of local politics can feel like a quixotic quest, but hold onto your hats because we're not shying away from the tough conversations. We scrutinize the movers and shakers within city charters, dissect the challenges of enacting change, and chuckle at the irony of a broken clock stuck at 4:20 at the Board of Elections. If that's not enough to pique your interest, wait until we discuss the perplexing social media bans and sprinkle in our opinions on those high-profile conspiracy theories. With tales of perseverance in the face of legal battles and the ins and outs of community engagement, this episode delivers a healthy dose of skepticism and humor.
Wrapping up our political odyssey, we dive into the social issues plaguing Lorraine, including a hard look at homelessness and the proposed solutions. Don't just take our word for it; hear firsthand accounts of city spending gone awry and question the allocation of funds along with us. We might even inspire you to take a closer look at what's happening in your own backyard. So, grab your headphones and join Tia and me for an episode that promises to engage, entertain, and maybe even incite a bit of civic passion. Who knew that a conversation about local governance could be this gripping—or hilarious?
