This episode of the Freedom Plow podcast looks at state takeover and preemption. In recent years, state lawmakers have undermined local governments across the country, especially black and Latino-governed cities and school districts. The guests for this podcast are: Dr. Domingo Morel, author of Takeover: Race, Education, and American Democracy, and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University in Newark; Dr. Meghan Wilson, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago, whose work focuses on public finance, urban development, race and ethnic politics, and state and local government; and Dr. Harold Love, Jr. a state lawmaker in Tennessee representing Nashville’s 58th District and a second-generation state legislator.
