Nov 2013Voterheads Radio – SC In-Depth – Columbia Strong Mayor Referendum
Posted by Karl McCollester / in Headcast, Issues, Topics /
A major discussion is going on in Columbia, SC as citizens there decide whether to change their form of government from council-manager to strong mayor. We’ve already posted a consolidated repository of information about the referendum on our blog. Now, we’ve taken our research a step further. This week, we asked both sides of the referendum debate to join us on our podcast at http://radio.voterheads.com
For the proponents, we interviewed the state’s former Governor Jim Hodges. For those in opposition, we interviewed Howard Duvall, one of the spokespersons for Citizens for a Great Columbia. We had a great discussion with each, talking over comparison’s of Columbia with our other major Cities, asking about recall capabilities of a strong mayor, and discussing the situation with the Mayor in Toronto.
We’ve broken the interviews into two separate podcasts for your listening pleasure:
Let us know what you think!
