The Observation Deck

A couple of our neighbors to the east produce a very good podcast called the CLEcast. In recent weeks, Lakewood has been nudging our way in. Which amuses me to think of as a kind of response to all the ways in which "the CLE" invades Lakewood. Anyway…

Ward 4 city council member Dan O'Malley joined CLEcast for episode 102. He talked generally about Lakewood; I listened to the whole show and enjoyed it. Partly as a result of my discovering the show, by this route…

This evening CLEcast posted its latest episode, 106, featuring none other than me. Actually the hosts also interview a couple of organizers of the upcoming Cleveland women's march, but they spend a lot of time with me. Talking about congressional redistricting, gerrymandering, and the reform efforts which I have mentioned here now and again.

I'm told that it came out okay.

And speaking of gerrymandering:

It was nice to run into Matt Kuhns outside the Cleveland Museum of Natural History as he braved the cold, cold temps to obtain petition signatures.

Thanks, Matt, for your efforts. We do appreciate it!

My pleasure.

Although once the snow began in earnest, a little later, it was also my pleasure to complete my shift & head back indoors.
