Leading the Newscast, a breakdown of our exclusive report revealing some shoddy practices in the city's Fleet Services department. The tire mound of mystery deepens!

Then the trash talk continues, regarding the city's up-for-renewal recycling contract, and the quixotic quest to recycle recyclables here locally, brought to us by reporter Richard Whittaker. All this, plus some 2010 election handicapping, and the city's continuing fluoride saga. As always, Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
