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.
