Same Money Same Problems - with guest Dana Watson
from What Lansing Council · host Jill Dombrowski
Council had a light agenda, with some heavy issues at the May the Fourth meetings. Six city departments gave budget presentations: the 54A District court, the Mayor’s office, Downtown Lansing Inc., Human Resources, Finance, and Treasury. Public comment focused on begging council to stop sending police to sweep unhoused people out of places where they congregate in the city. Our guest this episode is Dana Watson. Dana served as an East Lansing city council member from 2020 - 2025, she continues to work as a Health Equity Social Justice Coordinator for Ingham County, and as a board member for the Justice League of Greater Lansing.Support this podcast financially:https://www.patreon.com/whatLansingCouncilUPCOMING LIVE PODCAST SHOW EVENT!!!!
