Davisville, Jan. 9, 2023: An exit interview with Dan Carson

Mon, 01/09/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Dan Carson at KDRT Dec 31 2022.JPG

In the nearly 106 years that Davis has been a city, the City Council has had fewer than 100 members total. Not a big number for a city that now numbers 67,000 people.

Today we talk with Dan Carson, who became the newest former member of the council after losing his seat to Bapu Vaitla last November. We talk a little about Measure H and his lawsuit challenging the ballot statement opposing the measure, a criticized tactic that Carson later regretted. We spend more time on what he learned about the city from being on the council, how he thinks Davis is doing, and what he does and does not miss now that he no longer has the job.

For Opa, from Wyatt, on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 30, 2022

Fri, 12/30/2022 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Opa.jpeg

A few weeks ago I was in Portland visiting my daughter and her family. While there, I drove my  grandson to high school every morning. He would hop into the car and link his phone to my radio, and off we went, listening to his music. Wyatt is 15, and I really liked his music selections. I asked him to send me some of his playlist, and that is what you will hear on this hour of Listening Lyrics. It's a rather sophisticated selection of music old and new, and perfect for my last show in 2022.

Thank you, Wyatt. Happy New Year all,

Pieter
