City Council Chronicles 123: Samba Baldeh -- Madison, WI Alder

Samba Baldeh--Madison, WI alder--answers a crucial question: why does Madison call its council members "alders"? Then he discusses an emotional council meeting in which race and culture crept into a budgetary matter, as well as the police chief's accusatory blog post that declared a "pre-emptive first strike" on the council. City Council Chronicles provides reviews of city council meetings from across the world. Named a "Top 100 Local Government Influencer" in 2016, 2017, and 2018 by ELGL.org.
