Crabs in a Barrel: local struggles over school districts and solar batteries against the national backdrop of austerity and media suppression

Smoke from a downtown Turners Falls fire still hung in the air as Sarah and Mike sat down to record this episode on Friday October 10th. They dig into the politics surrounding a postponed vote on the proposed six-town regional school district and also discuss another nearby regional school district that made the news. Then, after an update on solar regulations in Wendell, Mike debriefs an interesting meeting he had with folks from a locally headquartered media advocacy group.

Check out our previous episode on the six-town regionalization proposal for more background on that story.
