## Resource

In this show, before the ad break we go over what happened on Tuesday's council meeting, with a brief sidebar into road safety and why councillor Cathy Deagle Gammon makes her husband drop what he's doing to go pick up Matt's garbage. #sharedresponsibility In the second half of the show, we cover the Board of Police Commissioners meeting and go over Halifax's new stupid parking policy. And give Fillmore his due flowers from the debate. If you're a subscriber please note that Matt from the future did pop in at the 43 minute mark of this show and please go read Monday's paper for more details, but TL:DR, it council's fault, again (and also city staff and/or city processes as described in this episode, but I'm still digging into the story because I now think I'm missing a bit of context and have a media request in to get it. Stay tuned for updates.)
