The Totescast is getting its serve-on this week, as we recount our feature on the overhaul of the city’s social service contracting process – change that’s been a long time coming.

After a look at other initiatives that came before City Council this week, we shift gears to the courthouse, delving into the dis-admonishment (is that even a word?) of infamous Judge Sharon Keller, developments in the inquiry into the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham, and loads more. As always, Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
