Fiscal Responsibility: Building a Sustainable Future Key Takeaway:   Grayslake's commitment to fiscal responsibility is a cornerstone of its success. Mayor Davies' first budget as mayor maintained a balanced budget and zero debt status, with only a modest 1.5% increase in spending despite inflationary pressures. In-Depth Insights: Prudent Budgeting:**     Every dollar spent is carefully evaluated to ensure it delivers value to residents.   The village prioritizes essential services while seeking efficiencies to keep costs down. Zero Debt Policy:**     Grayslake's zero debt status is rare among municipalities and provides flexibility for future investments.   Avoiding debt means more resources can be directed toward community projects and less toward interest payments. Strategic Investments:**     New funding was allocated for marketing and communications, recognizing the importance of keeping residents informed and engaged. Actionable Advice: For Local Leaders:**     Regularly review and justify all expenditures.   Communicate budget decisions transparently to build trust.   Invest in areas that strengthen community engagement and long-term sustainability. 2. Transparent and Positive Communication Key Takeaway:   Effective communication is essential for building trust and fostering community engagement. Mayor Davies has prioritized improving how the village connects with residents.

Hello and welcome to That's So Auburn! I'm Nancy Backus, Mayor of the City of Auburn, and today's episode is about government relations, which, I know, may sound like a very official title. But really, it's about relationships and advocacy, problem-solving, and making sure Auburn's voice is heard in the rooms where decisions are being made. Today I'm joined by Megan Utemei, the City of Auburn's Government Relations Policy Advisor. Megan works closely with me, our City Council, city leadership, regional partners, state legislators, federal offices and community organizations to help advance Auburn's priorities. Megan began at the City just over two months ago and she stepped into a brand new role at our city. And it couldn't have come at a better time, because the work she does matters. Whether we're talking about transportation, public safety, housing, infrastructure, economic development, or funding for major city projects, Megan's role is to help connect Auburn's needs with the people and resources that can help move them forward. Megan brings 10 years of experience working on federal and regional issues. A major part of her career was spent working with U.S. Senator Patty Murray's office in both Washington, D.C. and Seattle, where she helped secure federal funding and support for local elected officials, community-based organizations and stakeholders across King County. She has also worked on immigration issues as a congressional liaison to the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security. Megan earned her Executive Master of Public Administration from the University of Washington, focusing on policy implementation at the federal, state and local levels through leadership. And outside of work, Megan was born and raised on the islands of Guam and Palau, and enjoys karaoke, reading, and spending quality time with her friends and family.

and city manager Wendy McDonald talk about what's up in SLO.

Spencer Pratt — yes, the guy from The Hills — made a campaign ad with AI for zero dollars. No donors, no consultants, no political machine. And it pulled more views than the entire campaign of the sitting mayor of Los Angeles, who's backed by hundreds of millions of dollars. The political establishment spent a decade building a system to control who gets attention… and a reality TV star with a laptop just broke it. In this episode I break down exactly how — because the same technique works in your business, not just a mayor's race. These ads don't land because they look like political ads; they land because they look like movies. I'll show you the engine underneath: a 130-year-old idea from French psychologist Gustave Le Bon, the false-belief framework I teach in Expert Secrets, and the uncomfortable line I think all of us have to draw now that anyone can deepfake anyone for free. I've lived one side of this — I bootstrapped ClickFunnels against an entire industry that said I couldn't compete — so I'm not watching this one from the outside. Key Highlights: ◼️The “$0 campaign ad” that beat the machine — how Spencer Pratt and a four-person studio pulled more views than a sitting mayor backed by hundreds of millions, using a free (and Chinese) AI video tool ◼️The Expert Secrets move these ads run on — “breaking false belief patterns”: they don't argue that politicians care, that the system works, or that you need money to win… they shatter each belief with a story instead of a fact ◼️The entertainment-format trick — why mapping your audience's favorite movies (Star Wars, The Dark Knight) onto their false beliefs turns an ad into something they'll actually share ◼️Gustave Le Bon's 1895 warning — crowds aren't moved by facts, they're moved by images… and why AI just handed that weapon to everyone for free ◼️The line I won't cross — use AI aggressively to compete with people who outspend you, but putting words in politicians' mouths they never said is where it tips from equalizer to dangerous Here's what I keep coming back to: for 130 years, the people who could afford to create images controlled the crowd. That era just ended. AI gave the images to everyone — and once the tools are free, the only thing left that matters is the story. The political machine is learning that the hard way in LA right now, and your market is no different. So the real question isn't whether these AI ads are fair or dangerous. It's this: in your own business, are you still paying for the old machine… or are you the one building with the new tools? Are you Spencer Pratt in this story — or are you Karen Bass? ◼️AI SECRETS CHALLENGE: Most people are either afraid of AI or using it as a toy. Russell built a challenge that teaches you how to actually MAKE MONEY with AI — not just be productive, but build real income. The best defense against being manipulated by AI companies is understanding the technology well enough to profit from it yourself. → https://www.AISecretsChallenge.com ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, returning guest Kris Fulton is back!About Kris Fulton: Kris Fulton is a self-described coffee nerd, Baltimore-based coffee roaster, and co-owner of Sophomore Coffee, a neighborhood coffee shop in Charles Village. He opened Sophomore Coffee in April 2019, just months before the pandemic, and has spent seven years building it into a trusted community fixture. His journey in coffee began at a local café and evolved through his pivotal role at the Four Seasons Baltimore in 2011, where he honed his skills in luxury hospitality and elevated service that would shape Baltimore's food and beverage scene.We talk about his evolution from "punk kid working coffee on the side" to wearing multiple hats—plumber, janitor, counselor, delivery driver—as a small business owner who opened Sophomore Coffee without knowing all the ins and outs of running a business. He discusses the meaning behind the name "Sophomore"—embracing the second attempt, learning, and growth—and his philosophy of focusing on two pillars: coffee quality and service quality. He shares insights on surviving the pandemic, which forced him to start roasting coffee himself when wholesale partnerships became uncertain, and how that challenge became an unexpected opportunity.Fulton reveals his approach to being a reliable neighborhood fixture—open every single day, even in bad weather—and how that consistency earns trust and bandwidth in the community. He discusses his collaboration with other food and beverage professionals, his work with Tarleton, and his decision to keep Sophomore Coffee hyper-local rather than expanding. He introduces his advice for aspiring coffee shop owners: "Just be a sponge"—work in a coffee shop first, absorb as much information as possible, and understand that owning a café means you'll be working in it, not just managing from afar.We also talk about the importance of intention in coffee-making, why third spaces like cafés are indicators of a community's health, his newsletter as a way to connect directly with customers, and why physical presence and in-person experience still matter more than what can be displayed on social media in an increasingly digital world.Photo credit The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

This year, six of Canada's ten provinces and one of it's three territories have held or will be holding municipal elections. It's a level of governance that tends to get the least amount of engagement from Canadians, and yet it's also the one that can most directly affect our lives. So what do our city councils do for us? Why do we pay so little attention? Why is turnout so low? And what might be done to increase turnout in elections coming up this fall? Host Caryn Ceolin speaks with John Michael McGrath, a writer and host at TVO about the importance of municipalities, and why we seem to care so little about them. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

Activists in Alameda County are collecting signatures to put a $30 minimum wage on the November ballot — promising prosperity, new jobs, and relief from Bay Area's crushing cost of living. They have friendly studies. They have One Fair Wage backing them. What they don't have is a single example of this actually working.Seattle tried it. Researchers documented the destruction: 1,800 jobs gone, hundreds of millions in economic disruption, and a downtown now famous for empty storefronts and shuttered restaurants. Mayor-elect Katie Wilson wants to double down on the same formula that gutted the city. Alameda County activists watched all of it and decided the answer is to go even higher.Sean runs through the wage study math the activists are leaning on, the MIT living-wage calculator they cite, and the real arithmetic no one wants to run — what happens to tax revenue when 20% of small businesses fold, what happens to workers when employers automate or cut hours, and what it means when the people promising you a raise are the same ones who've never run a payroll.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell for daily breakdowns of the stories the mainstream press won't tell straight.#Seattle #HomelessCrisis #ConservativeNewsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

This Gay Week: The Flag That Annoys The World It's Pride Month, but in some parts of the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond, flying a Pride flag has become a political statement, a cultural battleground, and sometimes even a target. Why does a rainbow flag generate so much controversy? Is the outrage genuine, or is it being manufactured by politicians, media personalities, and culture-war influencers looking for the next fight? This week, Karel and Scott Jacobsen of The Good Men Project examine the growing backlash against Pride visibility and what it says about LGBTQ rights in 2026. Also on this episode:

Megyn Kelly is joined by Laurence Fox, actor and activist, to discuss the latest protests and waves of outrage in the UK after the attempted beheading in Northern Ireland by a migrant, legitimate concerns about mass migration and a focus on "diversity" in Europe, the political impact of modern feminism and feminized men, the open borders and mass migration that have ruined Europe and the UK, why Tommy Robinson's message is resonating with UK citizens and terrifying the establishment, Elon Musk's support for free speech in the UK, and more. Then Megyn discusses the outrageous response from Karmelo Anthony supporters after the verdict, absurd comments from Anthony's parents trying to play the victim, the false claims of racism, Jeff Metcalf's emotional comments about his late son Austin, criticism of the Anthony family's response to the case and treatment of him and his family, and more. Then Mike Solana, editor-in-chief of Pirate Wires, joins to discuss the disturbing and dark truth about the reaction to the Karmelo Anthony verdict from his supporters, the way racism is still being used as to shift the narrative, legitimate reasons to say "cheating" was involved in stopping Spencer Pratt in the LA mayor race, proof that homeless people were paid to vote for Democratic candidates, the danger of Pratt and why the establishment was so against him, Jimmy Kimmel's outrageous response to Pratt, the dangers of AI but also dangers of Bernie Sanders trying to nationalize AI, and more.   Fox- https://x.com/LozzaFox Solana- https://www.piratewires.com/   Supersure Insurance: Upgrade your business insurance to a year-round SuperAgency at https://Supersure.com/Megyn Quo: Make this the season where no opportunity slips away.

Trump's oil revelation, ActBlue fraud, Róis-Máire Donnelly, Albert Mohler, and Jensen Huang headline today's A.M. Update. Trump drops a bombshell at a White House signing ceremony, revealing the U.S. military has been secretly siphoning millions of barrels of Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz every night — which is why prices are at $85 to $90 a barrel instead of $250, and why his "I love inflation" soundbite is going to be played on a loop. ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones pleads the fifth when Congressman Jim Jordan asks her point blank whether ActBlue has watered down its fraud standards to benefit Democrats, and Aaron says that answer tells you everything. New Belfast Lord Mayor Róis-Máire Donnelly, a Sinn Féin councillor who took office June 1st preaching diversity and inclusion, is now presiding over a city where mobs are burning buses and police cars in response to a Sudanese migrant's attempted beheading of a local man. Albert Mohler's male-pastor-only amendment to the Southern Baptist Convention constitution passes its first required two-thirds vote at 76%, and Aaron calls it the SBC course-correcting back toward orthodoxy. Aaron closes with Jensen Huang's task-versus-purpose argument for why AI elevates jobs rather than eliminating them, and the poll of the week results on who has done the most damage to college sports.

The situation with Iran continues to feel like Groundhog Day, except this time, believe it or not, there may actually be movement.Earlier this week, I mentioned that I had heard from people in the know that the United States military was coiled to strike Iran and was looking for either provocation or justification to resume major military activity. That appeared to happen when Iran shot down an Apache helicopter that was escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. We also learned that more than 100 million barrels of oil had moved through the strait under U.S. protection over the last month.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.One of the reasons that caught my attention is that gas prices in the United States have been falling pretty dramatically. It was a head-scratcher. If the Strait of Hormuz was effectively stalled, then what explained the drop? Was it a global rerouting of supply? Was there a China component that had been negotiated and never publicly heralded? I didn't know then, and I don't know now, but the announcement about oil shipments at least provides part of the picture.What's more interesting is what happened next. After one night of military strikes, the second night was canceled. Donald Trump said that's because we're at the point of a deal, one that has supposedly been signed off on by all available parties in the region. It appears to resemble the memorandum of understanding that's been floating around for weeks, although nobody really knows because we still haven't seen the text. We don't know if it's real. We don't even know exactly what it says.The administration's definition of success has been fairly consistent: Iran gives up its nuclear material and removes the nuclear threat. If that's actually in the agreement, then it would be meaningfully different from what came before. The obvious question is what Iran gets in return. The reporting and public comments suggest that Tehran is focused on access to frozen assets and getting money quickly. Whether that money goes directly to Iran, whether it's routed through humanitarian aid, and what conditions are attached are all questions that still need answers.The strongest sign that something may actually be happening is coming from inside Iran. Reports indicate that FARS, the IRGC-controlled news agency, is acknowledging that a draft memorandum of understanding exists, that the United States has approved it, and that Iran is likely to do the same. The bigger question is whether any agreement can actually be enforced. Iran's leadership appears splintered. We've seen officials make commitments before, only to have military figures or IRGC commanders move in a different direction. That's why the real issue isn't whether a deal can be signed. It's whether anybody in Iran has enough authority to keep it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:48 - Iran00:08:38 - Interview with Karol Markowicz00:36:19 - Update00:37:19 - DeSantis and AI00:42:56 - FISA00:44:42 - Director of National Intelligence00:47:17 - Interview with Karol Markowicz, con't01:07:27 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Scott Maddox spent decades at the center of Florida politics.He served as Mayor of Tallahassee, chaired the Florida Democratic Party, and ran statewide campaigns for Attorney General and Governor. He was widely viewed as one of Florida's rising political stars.Then came the federal investigation, public scandal, conviction, and prison sentence that changed everything.In this candid conversation, Scott joins Brent Cassity to discuss the pressures of politics, the realities of federal prosecution, surviving a public downfall, life inside federal prison, and the difficult road to rebuilding after losing power, reputation, and freedom.This episode is ultimately about resilience, accountability, and discovering who you are when the titles, status, and influence are stripped away.If you've ever faced failure, public criticism, or a life-changing setback, Scott's story offers a powerful perspective on surviving the fall and finding purpose on the other side.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?
