Hust FM: And They're Off!

Talking on the City Council races, and Jennifer Gale's death


Hust FM is feeling pretty subdued this week, what with the recent death of City Hall regular Jennifer Gale. One thing the Hust suggests you do right now is make a donation to House the Homeless during their thermal clothing drive.

Other topics this week include the Draft Lee Leffingwell for Mayor PAC kickoff, the deluge of council campaign announcements, coming today from Rick Cofer, Chris Riley, and Bill Spelman, and a quick council agenda wrap-up. The listen's about 11 minutes long.
