October was a time of spoooooookiness at our council meetings. Yes, I’m talking about people dressing up for Halloween, but also the nail-biting appearance of a near-dead rotary club in Michigan and the frightening specter of embezzlement in Arkansas. If you’re looking for campfire stories, stick a flashlight under your face and scare the kids with any of these reviews!
We chronicled:
6 council meetings
In 5 states
With a combined population of
525,600
We saw
Two cupcakeries compete for the mayor’s birthday treat
Several creative costumes on Halloween
The remaining 6 members of a rotary club on life support
1 man propose at a council meeting
3 podcast interviews, including the council member who was a Scottish dancer and the city manger who would take a bullet for her council
1 new storytelling episode featuring a high school robotics team and my invigorating visit to a Baptist church
And 100 percent of the credit goes to these folks who are on-call 24/7 to do the People’s Business:
Springdale, Arkansas city council
Berkley, Michigan city council
Maumelle, Arkansas city council
