August was notable for one simple reason: International #CityHallSelfie Day. Among the thousands of images submitted on social media, we dug out the best city council selfies and highlighted them on The Chronicles. Plus, we did some role-playing with council members on the podcast and stared mouth agape at a pair of contentious Kansas confabs.

2 council meetings
In 1 state
With a combined population of

We saw
7 council members block an anti-discrimination measure
1 young libertarian threatened by government
10 artistic city council selfies
4 podcast interviews, including the mayor with a rat infestation and the council member who can reach teenagers
2 minutes of a medical drama starring a council member
