Learn about the latest in local public affairs in about the time it takes for a coffee break! Brian Callanan of Seattle Channel and Kevin Schofield of Seattle City Council Insight discuss the Seattle City Council's new "acknowledgment pay" for city workers during COVID (and the associated vaccine mandates), the first public hearing on the city budget, a challenging investigation of the SPD's abandonment of the East Precinct last year, and a look at decriminalizing psychedelic drugs, too. Plus: when it comes to slicing strawberries for dessert, Kevin has some advice on how to cut to the chase. If you like this podcast, please support us on Patreon!
