The Totally Awesome AusChron Newscast Gets Bonded Out!
Transpo bonds, tires and more
By Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar, 9:01AM, Thu. Aug. 12, 2010
The Totescast has to keep on moving, so up first is a discussion of the $90 million transportation bond election that City Council formally called for November. It's freshly set for the ballot, and the controversy's already started.
Following that, we wax on the latest chapter in Fleet Services' tire mystery. Wheels keep turning as we discuss how Formula 1 racing almost pulled into council chambers, and more. As always, Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are waving the checkered flag.
