It is unfortunately common for people to feel alienated from their government, to feel as though the problems they experience in their neighborhoods are not the problems that officials are talking about at city hall. This feeling of alienation can lead to a lack of engagement, which can lead to a further feeling of alienation, and on and on in a vicious cycle. The City of Chattanooga Department of Neighborhood Services is one way the city is working to break that cycle. In this episode we'll learn more about the Neighborhood Services Department and how they are working to better reconnect citizens with our government.

I branched out a bit for this episode. While I don’t have the time to cover any of our small neighboring municipalities (Red Bank, East Ridge, etc.), I was able to make some time to speak with Bridgett Raper of the Small Cities Coalition. Seven of our neighboring municipalities formed this coalition to better coordinate their positions on state and county legislation.
I apologize for the audio quality, this was my first episode back on Zoom in several months and I had the wrong mic selected. Thankfully Bridgett's audio came in much more clearly.
