Episode Description

Oakland County Commission Chair Dave Woodward is the target of a recall effort. It started after an April meeting where the board approved a surveillance drone contract — and many residents never got to speak before the vote.

Woodward joins host Robyn Vincent on The Metro to address the recall, the meeting, and questions about his outside business ties.
