HSV Progressive

These are a few random observations from 18 Aug 22 HSV City Council Work Session (BUDGET for '23!) and The 23 Aug Planning Commission meeting. Thanks for joining, sharing, thinking!

I have a few words to share about . . . 28 July City Council, 2 Aug DEI forum, 11 Aug City Council. Have a listen, agree or disagree, just be sure to think about things!! More content on its way. Thank you!

I've been recuperating but I'm not out of the game. Plans!! 

We finish up Danny's platform and talk about a few things, including how important it is for folks to turn out to vote in the municipal elections on the 23rd of August. I have Covid, so please forgive my croakiness - - and make no mistake - - it's a miserable disease and I'm mighty glad I am vaccinated and boostered and I still wouldn't wish it on anyone - - and I wear a mask in public indoors sti...

Thanks for joining for this interview with Alan who calls on us to think about things differently -- more holistically, more intertwined -- enjoy and pass it on! For more information about integrated design, visit http://i2rd.co/

Welcome to a sorta free-wheeling conversation about . . . important stuff. I enjoyed myself - - hope you do! Thx for listening.

I have a few things to get off my chest. Plus I talk about the most recent HSV city council meeting. Thanks for joining in.

Have a listen to my conversation with candidate for Huntsville City Council District 2, Danny Peters. Even if you're not in District 2, you want to get to know who is on the City Council! Or who you'd like to vote for (or you'd like your friends to vote for). Hope you enjoy it!

Mayor Dean and I have another conversation, this time more along the lines of the homelessness and housing affordability crises that are barrelling down on us, and on prison reform, and maybe some of how the two are related. Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks for joining me for my semi-monthly rant about all things Huntsville and Huntsville City Council. Hope you find something here to start a conversation about. All Power to the People.

A short discussion about some of what's going on with the houseless community in HSV with Tom Moss, friend of the show and homeless advocate. Thanks for stopping by.

As mentioned - - there are, supposedly, video recordings available of these meetings at HuntsvilleAL.gov/HSVTV . Thanks for listening . . . Keep fighting!

Dexter and I talk about housing and marijuana decriminalization and the primaries and more. If you would like to contact Dexter, especially if you want to do campaigning work for the Democratic Party here in in AL, his email: dexter@aldemocrats.org Thanks for listening; keep opening minds!

I talk about Huntsville City Council meeting, D1 Townhall, and the townhall about reforming prosecution paradigms for misdemeanor marijuana possession. Plus an ee cummings poem that I found charming/intriguing. Thanks for listening.

I ramble on for a bit about what I saw taking place at County Commission and City Council on the 11th and 12th of May - - have a few laughs about the absurdity of life - - and share a pandemic poem called H1N1. Enjoy - - discuss, think, leave feedback. And thanks for listening.

Some cursory musings from yours truly about our last City Council meeting. Please, come laugh with me!

This week I had a rather far ranging conversation with Mayor Dean who is standing for the Senate seat being vacated by Shelby. We had some fun and lots of thoughts. I hope you enjoy it and please share.

We talk about the Darby case and city government's (retired and otherwise) involvement in the defense of a convicted murderer. This opens up a lot of topics of conversation and we plan to have more conversations here in the future.

We have a chat with Zac Hyden from the Automotive Free Clinic about . . . the AFC, anarchism, nature, and more! To talk to Zac try their website, https://www.automotivefreeclinic.org/ , or their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/automotivefreeclinic/ . Thanks for listening!

. . . in which we discuss the mundane business as usual goings on of HSV City Council - - except the world is (and must be) changing. 

Apologies for no new episode this week - - content is coming! Keep the faith.

I seem to find an hour's worth of words to say about City Council meetings no matter what. I hope you find something informative . . . or amusing . . . here. Thanks for listening.

I had a nice conversation with Tara about how some things work with the Madison City Council (and don't work), about what is looming large for them in Madison, and a bit of the activism that she engages in. I hope you hear something you wanted to hear. Thanks for listening.
