CivicLex has partnered with WUKY for a new weekly segment called CivicLex Chat, where they talk us about important things happening in City Hall! I am CivicLex’s speaker on this segment, and you can listen to them below.

Note: Most segments below are unedited, and therefore are longer (and sometimes messier!) than the edited versions that aired on WUKY’s radio broadcast.
