About Everything Is Local
Have you ever wondered what really goes on in local government? I’m Mike Burkons, your host and a former city council member. Some people loved me, some… well, let’s just say they weren’t fans but I’m here to pull back the curtain on the decisions that shape local communities. Every week, I’ll share insights from my time in office and break down local issues,controversies and dramas occurring in local governments in the area, not just in Beachwood, in a way that’s easy to understand and maybe even a little entertaining. Whether you’re interested andpassionate about small town politics and its drama that comes with it, and the local issues that affect your quality of life on a daily basis, this show is for you. We’ll cover these types of issues occurring in Beachwood and other local suburbs, chat with local experts and residents, and—who knows—go off-topic if the conversation gets interesting. Because here, it’s not just about government, it’s about what matters to you. So join me on “Everything is Local”—where understanding your community starts with listening.

[…] Let me just let me just save you guys from all the money you're going to spend on a traffic and safety study. Okay. Anybody who includes an attorney in this study is going to say, oh, when a ball goes into Richmond Road and causes an accident, the schools will be sued. So there is a coordinated effort to preserve Beachwood's safety and character that's being led by residents. And they have a very easy to read one pager where they go through what's planned, a 30,000 square foot library with a 300 seat auditorium marketed for rentals and regional events. More than 400 parking spaces, including a new 141 space library lot and the pool lot expanded to 266. […]
