On April 7th, Norman voters will have the opportunity to head to the polls to vote on 5 different propositions. These propositions cover City Charter changes, road maintenance and improvements, Norman's guest tax, and a potential homeless shelter. This month, we have brought on a series guests (Scott Sturtz, Public Works Director; Jason Olsen, Parks & Rec Director; Kathryn Walker, Assistant City Attorney; Anthony Purinton, Assistant City Attorney) to talk about each of these propositions and break down exactly what residents will be voting on. For more information on all of the propositions, www.NormanOK.gov/5Props For more information about the City of Norman, visit www.NormanOK.gov Questions or comments about the podcast can be emailed to PublicAffairs@NormanOK.gov Twitter - @cityofnormanok Instagram - @thecityofnorman Facebook YouTube

About 60% of the teachers, principals, aides and other staff at KIPP Kansas City have left in the last year, describing a chaotic environment with frequent mishaps — shorted pay, canceled school trips and bus failures.

San Francisco politics is rarely dull, but 2026 is shaping up to be particularly eventful. Nancy Pelosi, the first and only woman elected U.S. House speaker, has announced her retirement after nearly four decades serving San Francisco in Congress. The race to succeed her is wide-open, though State Senator Scott Wiener and Supervisor Connie Chan have already thrown their hats in.  Meanwhile, Mayor Daniel Lurie starts his second year in office with high approval ratings and ambitious plans to boost housing construction and overhaul the City Charter. He's also still facing fallout from a bungled effort to appoint a supervisor in the city's Sunset District. His first pick, a former pet store owner with no political experience, resigned after allegations over unsanitary conditions and poor management at her small business.  We'll check in with some of the city's top political reporters to talk about Pelosi's legacy, what to expect from the Lurie administration, and how the city will cope with federal cuts and Trump's ongoing crackdown on Democratic cities.

“Politics taught me and prepared me for a world that is more political than politics.” Wayne County Commissioner (District 2) and 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Chair Jonathan Kinloch joins Detroit is Different for a Detroit-rooted, world-spanning conversation that starts at Second & Myrtle—“you know you're Detroit when you remember” it was once Myrtle, now MLK—and reaches back to South Carolina and New Jersey family migrations. Kinloch breaks down how elders like Erma Henderson wrapped their arms around a young volunteer, handing him the City Charter and saying, “I want you to read that and… explain it to me,” then sending him to police, planning, and historic commission meetings to learn how power really moves. From Northwestern's Motown pipeline—meeting Esther Gordy Edwards—to giving artists civic honors, Kinloch reveals the thread between culture and governance: legacy is built when we protect the block, the schools, and the ballot. He names Reagan-era disinvestment, party infrastructure fights, and why “this bipartisan thing is… bull crap” when working families need results. This episode ties past and future Black Detroit: migration, mentorship, music, and the mandate to organize precinct by precinct so our people steer what's next. Tap in for stories, strategy, and Detroit love. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Hour 2 -  Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Disney secured the ability to effectively govern itself in Florida for more than half a century by performing a “bait and switch” on the state, and used its “complete and unaccountable governmental power” to “maximize its profits” at “the expense of the public good,” according to an independent audit of the entertainment giant's role in the state. The Springfield City Charter & ethics revisions. Violence in Springfield. 

If you're one of approximately 70,000 Toledo residents who live on an unimproved street, you'll be happy to know that passing the Toledo City Charter amendment (Issue 24) means we can start putting money toward improving those roads which the previous version of the charter has prevented us from doing for 58 years. Join me in this discussion with the Toledo Department of Transportation Director, Doug Stephens and Senior Professional Engineer, Tim Grosjean for a quick rundown of what all this means and preview the exciting changes to come!

Today on City Cast Portland, we're talking about the first rollout of Mayor Ted Wheelers' Alchemy-managed shelter sites, the wrangling of our city's Clean Energy Fund, and the controversial attempts by certain city council members to modify the voter-approved charter reform.

Right now the campaigning for the Houston mayoral election is underway, with elections happening in November of this year. Time is up on the current mayor Sylvester Turner, a two-time elected Democrat not able to seek reelection again due to term limits. If you were wondering about who was running for the new available spot, you would be hard pressed to find all of the candidates with a simple Google search. Many news outlets don't even offer information on all of the candidates on the ballet, only the ones they feel like reporting about. With this subjective reporting, how are citizens to know all of their options? Shouldn't there be some sort of informed consent for all of our available options out there? I mean, this isn't the pharmaceutical industry, surely not every system of power in place is intentionally withholding valuable information from the population to manipulate and coerce our decision making as a whole and keep us as oppressed, mind controlled sheeple who in Huxleyan fashion eagerly and intoxicatedly consent to our own spiritually vibration lowering subjugation?LOL

The developer does not require a rezoning to proceed with the project but needs a certificate of approval from the council due to the property being in the downtown historic district. The Historic Board of Review recommended denial of the design, with criticism focusing on the proposed building's height and size and its proximity to the historic Root House. The developer has requested a two-month delay, and the council may approve the design or deny it, send it back for revisions, or keep the issue in its realm and seek revisions.   Top of Form Story 3: Mableton   The newly established city of Mableton has planned a special transitional City Council meeting for Thursday night at 6:30 PM at the Riverside EpiCenter on Riverside Parkway.

The county will also build a trail between Plant Atkinson and the existing Silver Comet Trail in a separate project. In addition, the commission approved improvements to the 17.5-acre Ebenezer Downs Park in northeast Cobb.   STORY 6: Bucs   The Allatoona boys lacrosse team has advanced to the state championship for the first time in seven years after defeating Marist 16-7 in the semifinals of the Class 5A-6A state playoffs.

Blaylock was a five-star recruit and had a promising start to his career at Georgia, but a torn ACL likely changed the course of his career. He played in only two games in 2021 but showed improvement, catching 15 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown.

Bell, who played for Kennesaw State, was the Bears' seventh-round draft pick. Poles described Bell as one of his favorite human beings due to his passion, intensity, and commitment to balancing work, school, and practice. Bell worked full-time while attending classes and playing football at Kennesaw State, but he never regretted it because it helped his family. Bell described the feeling of having football as his primary job as the best feeling in the world and a blessing. Bell of course is the first player drafted out of the KSU program, which began play in 2015. Closing thoughts after this.

A coalition of grassroots organizations seek to amend the city charter. The San Antonio Justice Charter initiative would reform certain police practices and enforcement. The proposed amendments would ban the San Antonio Police department from the use of no-knock warrants and chokeholds and expand the cite-and-release policy. They would also decriminalize low-level marijuana possession, abortion, and establish a city Justice Director.

New York City voters can approve or disapprove three proposed City Charter amendments on the 2022 general election ballot. Questions 2-4 on the ballot for city voters (Question 1 is on the statewide Environmental Bond Act) are proposals from the NYC Racial Justice Commission.

Hour 1 -  Nick Reed is live at Scramblers Diner for the Friday Road Show. Here's what he covers this hour:  Writer and producer, Jack Cashill, wrote a story regarding former Republican Sen. John Danforth and his involvement with Senate candidate John Wood who is running as an Independent. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, thinks that Republicans have a lukewarm chance of flipping the Senate in November, citing "candidate quality" as a factor.  ALSO -  Melanie with the Galloway Village Neighborhood Association joins Nick this morning: There is something on the November 8th ballot that you need to know about... For over four years, Galloway Village Neighbors have successfully blocked a proposed 5 story apartment complex across from Sequiota Park. Determined to silence legitimate concerns, the City of Springfield of Springfield actively fought in court to deny every Springfield citizen's right to vote, siding with the developer and against the City Charter. The Missouri Court of Appeals chastised the City's actions and ordered the rezoning to be placed on the ballot. Voting no in November will stop the development.

Temporary Co-Host, Brian Jones, returns to NOT talk about the liturgy. Instead, we discuss his time in a Cleveland inner-city charter school as a teacher and compare/contrast institutional schooling (public, charter, private, parochial) with homeschooling (hybrid, classical, and Robinson Curriculum). We also talk about the stupid "super Catholic" pressures we put on each other when it comes to schooling, number of kids, age of marriage, etc.
