Began the show, however, talking a bit about the spring elections, how every board member is up for election but also how the board works with the county administrator — as part of the ongoing theme where Klekamp describes how government works to talk show host.

After that, we hit on the county board strategic plan, how a consultant firm is going about gathering intel and just what might be some priorities with it.

In the second half of the show, started off asking Klekamp what the county could do with some of the state’s $7 billion in budget surplus that its been mostly sitting on for over two years.

After that, we got some dates and details into the Pathways Home project to end homelessness, and an optimistic outlook on how it might come to a conclusion.

Spent the last part of the show discussing some of the details on the civilian review board of law enforcement, which has been two years in the making.
