## Resource

This week is a return to normalcy which is to say clipped shows. This week starts off host Matt Stickland's opinion of this year's budget. And then after the ad break there's a recap of the the final budget debate and last week's (mostly deferred) council meeting debates. Also the book club book is The Score: How to Stop Playing Someone Else's Game by C. Thi Nguyen. Please note: there will be no show next week (might re-run a classic for algorithmic gaming purposes).
