Brought new City Councilor Thu Nguyen on the program and at the right time I'd say! Earlier this week, Nguyen had an order on the City Council agenda which caused quite a stir and moved the ball in a big way on Worcester's failure to hold onto a chief diversity officer. I wrote about that whole thing at length on the newsletter this week. But that was just part of a long-ranging conversation in which we touched on the expectations of a campaign versus the reality of holding the position, approaching City Hall as an outsider to the networks of power around it, and about what a city councilor is, what it can be, and what it should be.
