S4:E5 - A Roundtable Discussion with Francie Ruebel-Alberts, Aaron Jordan, and Kevin Forrester about the Form of Government Ballot Question

In this episode, Eric Davis sits down with Francie Ruebel-Alberts, Aaron Jordan, and Kevin Forrester for a long-form discussion on the form of government ballot question the voters of Sturgis will decide at this Tuesday's municipal election. We begin with a brief and broad overview of municipal government, the nature of its corporate structure, and the division of the legislative and executive branches and how state law permits the executive function to vested in either an elected mayor or an appointed city manager. Then, with the benefit of that foundation, we turn to our roundtable discussion. We hope our conversation will help you cast a more informed vote. Polls will be open at the Sturgis Community Center on Tuesday, April 9th from 7AM to 7PM. Get out and vote!
