Hank, Walter and Matt dive into a recent report on GBH about Worcester City Council meetings that makes it sound like Dysfunction Junction. They also look at comments by City Councilor Thu Nguyen, according to the report – a first term councilor in their second year, has suffered from anxiety as a result of the unpredictability of meetings each week. The councilor usually tries to manage through the meetings with coffee, chocolate or gummy bears. – “It gets tiring,” Nguyen said. “It’s really hard to focus. Sometimes I just start doodling.” If a 3 hour meeting on Tuesday night is too taxing should you seek another way to serve the community? Inclusionary Zoning and Worcester as a sports town round out this meeting of the Radio Roundtable.
