Municipal functionality within global chaos: changes in town leadership, large public gatherings

About this episode

This episode discusses town leadership changes and the Baystate nurses union contract negotiations amidst global issues.

Though bookended by an ask-the-editor segment about AI and a non-sequitur about the Iran war, the meat of this episode zooms in and focuses on the more provincial matter of town leadership. Mike introduces the two candidates running for an open selectboard seat, as well as the new “double” fire chief of Turners Falls and Montague Center. Then to a more contentious story about the Baystate nurses union contract negotiations. Support the newspaper! https://montaguereporter.org/subscribe/
