Better late than never – the Totescast is dropping knowledge on ya like a batshit-crazy online suicide note.

First up: a rundown of last week’s City Council rule changes on which police can work street-closing events. (It’s interesting, seriously!) Then another update on the city’s scrap tire story, which raises as many questions as it answers. All that, and a smattering of this week’s election stories. You know that Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
