For Episode 2 of Queen City Nerve’s Nooze Hounds podcast, co-hosts Ryan Pitkin and Justin LaFrancois brought in WCCB news anchor Morgan Fogarty and OneMECK co-founder Justin Perry, who is also founder of Perry Counseling, Healing and Recovery.
We talked about two recent cases in which a lack of transparency has only added to the controversy around local leaders leaving office: CMPD Chief Kerr Putney’s recent announcement that he planned to retire at the end of the year only to return after two months to help lead the department during the RNC, and the abrupt suspension and departure of CMS Superintendent Clayton Wilcox in July. We also discussed gun violence in Charlotte and what prevention actually looks like.
