U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) Proposes Abolishing Home Rule - WHAT NEXT?
A Conversation with COUNCILMEMBER BILL LIGHTFOOT What Should We Expect?
Bill Lightfoot was on the Council when Congress imposed the "Control Board" on the DC government in 1995. Some Republican senators are now hinting on Twitter that they want to roll back Home Rule. Is local DC headed for another show-down with the federal government? Could this really happen? We'll ask Bill for his take on this latest threat to democracy in DC and what we can expect in the future.
In the second part of this mini-documentary, Responder Resilience continues the deep dive into the topic of first responder retirement. We are joined by a panel of twenty one retired or active first responders and resilience experts, representing law enforcement, the fire service, EMS, dispatch, animal control, and mental health clinicians.
Most people view retirement as something to look forward to with joy and anticipation. At the same time, when it comes to life stressors, retirement is among the top 10. It’s the nature of most law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers and firefighters to put others' needs first. They sacrifice time with family to serve the community - working long hours, overtime, nights, holidays and weekends.
When it comes to preparing for their own retirement, unfortunately, many first responders put off important decisions or neglect to ask critical questions. First responders certainly deserve a fulfilling and well-funded retirement, but preparation is crucial. This episode will explore some essential criteria to ensure a rewarding career all the way from hire to retire.
Our guests include Ernest Stevens, Jonni Redick, John Kelly, Patrick Fitzgibbons, Mike Gagliano, Dr. Olivia Johnson, Scott Medlin, Adam A. Meyers, David H. Ferris Jr., Ray Connors, Angela Matthews, Edmund Russell, Peter Marengo, Matt Domyancic, Jeff Ward, Steve Zagami, Dan Welch, Mike Grasso, Gordon MacCalla, Kasey Brainerd and Denise Beard.
