Episode Description

On April 8, hundreds of people showed up to protest surveillance technology at an Oakland County meeting. Because of the way that meeting was conducted, a number of people decided to organize to recall Oakland County Chair Dave Woodward. 

What would it mean to recall the legislative leader of Oakland County? What might come of all this local political organizing? Justine Galbraith is a leader of the I Am Oakland County campaign. Justine joined Robyn Vincent to discuss her attempt to recall Chair Woodward. 

The Metro called and emailed Oakland County Commissioner Dave Woodward. He never responded to our requests to have him on the show.
