Summary
Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is back with the team, and producers Liam Billingham and Sam J. Leeds catch her up on the headlines she missed while she was away, including the latest in the Spokane arson arrest, the calls for Mayor Wilson to resign, and orcas in the Ballard locks! Then Jane and Sam are joined by PubliCola’s Erica C. Barnett to break down the latest on Councilmember Dan Strauss’ proposal for creating an RV point-in-time count and permit system as well as what’s going on at the Seattle Police Department since former Chief Shon Barnes resigned. We break down Erica’s interview with interim police chief Andre Sayles, other staffing change ups, and what recruiting a permanent lead for the department might look like.
