This week, and until we’ve worn out our welcome, we come to you from3rd Bedroom Studios courtesy of audio engineer extraordinaire Jimmy Bell.
In this episode, we visited with Izzy Gardon, the student board member for Sacramento City Unified School District, to get his take on our schools–and the adults he works with on the school board. Izzy is a senior at McClatchy high, and he’s made it his mission to get his fellow students involved in the decisions and district policies that affect their lives.
We’re also discussing AEG’s recent roll into town, and all things arena. In what we plan to be a recurring segment, “Fix This First”, the band ponders how $255 million dollars could be better spent within the city.
Lastly, we touch the political third-rail in Sacramento, loose-in-the-street green waste collection. The city council is again considering an end to ‘The Claw.’ Even among the Sacramento Current players, opinions are mixed.
