A polite title … and basically my $0.02 on the goings-on.

There are all sorts of good, bad, impractical and not that directly related to local government jurisdiction ideas that get pitched before and after a campaign. Whether it be the running of slates, stances on issues well beyond the purview of local govt or amplifying mis & dis-information to gain traction, this’ll be the landing spot for ‘What the heck’ punditry.
That includes the importance of fostering good civic governance and being centered in facts, viable options and measured decision-making. A Punditry-Focussed Hub!
