Also, a look at the Austin Police Monitor’s hearing on the shooting death of Nathaniel Sanders, and City Council courts controversy by attempting to limit how often citizen communication speakers can sign up to speak. (Somewhere, Jennifer Gale sheds a tear.) Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
