    Our Erie 049 - Life, Liberty & Leadership

    WARNING: This episode contains an abundance of expletives. This week, in the Season 3 finale, co-hosts unpack the definition of leadership, the local debate around how to achieve community safety and policing, and recent Erie City Council events you may have missed! Marty brings her definition of leadership to the table to start unpacking the real roles local elected officials play in political, economic and social systems. Do we have leaders in elected office or merely managers? Lydia and Marty reflect on their reactions to the recent debate in Erie City Council and achieving community safety through additional funding/new hires to the Erie Police Department. Both hosts are especially concerned with the commentary of several of the more seasoned members of Council and the attitudes implied by their words and actions on June 15th (view whole meeting recording here (12) City Council Meeting | June 15, 2022 - YouTube) As Our Erie co-hosts close their third season, they reflect on empathy, compromise, finding common ground, and rooting dialogue in shared values. Co-hosts also encouraged listeners to share their ideas for season 4 and a new summer segment: "Out & About" Stay tuned for our Patreon page.
