In this episode, we cover some of our latest stories. Kate Davidson tells us about a backlog at tax tribunals around the region. Dan Bobkoff explains how zoning works, and why some cities are trying to change their zoning codes. Finally, Dan I take a look past the rhetoric around Ohio’s Senate Bill 5, the recently passed law that limits the collective bargaining rights of state employees.
