Podcast: The 812

Description: In the incorporated place that is Bloomington's primary official suburb, there's no mayor. The part-time town council in Ellettsville is the legislative and executive body -- sort of like the board of commissioners that runs the county -- but they're also the fiscal body. They're everything; in Indiana, only counties and cities have separation of powers. Scott Oldham is in his nineteenth year on the five-member council for the town of more than 8000, and currently serves as president. He talks about what he's seen since he started in 2006, and current and future issues concerning Ellettsville. It's the first time The 812 has gotten the perspective of Monroe County's second-largest community.Support the showA production of Plateia Media ©2024-5. All rights reserved.
