The PHAT LIP! Team discusses the ups and downs of municipal governance, as related to the City of Jacksonville, Arkansas, and its assumed ward-based voting structure. They ponder over why a few friends who are city council members, along with the few wealthy city residents boldly clinch to power while refusing to work with the rest of the city residents--who are predominately young and non-white--to create an opportunity for a more representative form of municipal government.
GUEST: Dr. Trenika McCoy, member of the Jacksonville City Council who sponsored an ordinance to address the current citywide at-large voting structure
