This month Gil Ziffer talks with former Tallahassee City Commissioner, Debbie Lightsey; former Leon County Commissioner, Mary Ann Lindley; and Skip Foster, President of Hammerhead Communications and former publisher for the Tallahassee Democrat.

In an open discussion with Barry Richard, then attorney for George Bush during the 2000 election, and Mark Early, our Leon County Supervisor of Elections, Bryan Desloge and Gil Ziffer talked campaigns and elections, then and now. While the 2000 Bush v. Gore election was filled with court battles and disagreements, the level of political discord never reached the level we experienced in 2020 or anticipated this election. Listen in and re-live what so many of us remember like it was just yesterday.

Joining Gil and Bryan is David Powell, a retired attorney who represented the Mettler family and their 7000-acre Welaunee landholding, Dale Allen who was a project manager for The Trust for Public Land and was the lead negotiator on the Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway and Chuck Mitchell an advocate for the Greenway. The second part of the program examines how increased rainfall and flooding are becoming a concern. Guest Terry Ryan, member of The Tallahassee Region Environmental Group will address some of the challenges the region faces.

Steve Evans explains how Blueprint was designed and and what projects it was created to fund. As we look at cuts to the arts, is it possible that Blueprint funds can support the local art scene. The show's guests include Retired IBM Executive and Community Mentor Steve Evans, COCA Executive Director Kathleen Spehar, and Southern Shakespeare Company Executive Director Bianca Montague.
