About Before Council
Each month, Tony Ayala and former Common Council member Mac Kiel discuss the Judiciary & Administration and Finance & Personnel Committee meetings, providing context, background, and plain-language explanations of items likely to reach the Common Council.
Before Council is not a political show.
It is a civic education project.
A civic utility.
