As an extension of our weekly "This Week in Westchester - The Podcast" we welcome you to Westchester, Explained. This is the first in a special long-form series where we'll take you deeper into the headlines, decisions and policies shaping Westchester County and their impact on your family, your neighborhood and your future. Here we will slow it down, dig in and bring in the people doing the work, and we'll explain not just what the County is doing, but why it matters.

Because government should be clear. This is your County. 

And this is Westchester, Explained. 

Today, we're focusing on how a bill becomes a law in Westchester County, including the people and steps  involved -- and the role community members can play to get involved in the process. 

Joining for this in-depth conversation are Westchester's Intergovernmental Relations Director, Steve Bass and Intergovernmental Relations Aide, Harry Brussel -- who will discuss their work, while helping to clarify the mechanics, limits and accessibility of local government -- and why that matters.

Let's dive in.

HOSTED BY: 

Catherine Cioffi, Westchester County Communications Director
