Also joining John this Thursday is Hanover Board of Supervisors member Ryan Hudson, who discusses the economic implications of federal facilities on local communities, particularly focusing on the impact of a prospective ICE center in Hanover. John and Ryan explore the challenges local governments face in balancing community needs with federal mandates, the strain on emergency services, and the potential economic downturn due to federal projects. The discussion also extends to the importance of experience in governance and the consequences of political decisions on local economies. Ryan emphasizes the need for responsible leadership that prioritizes the community's well-being over political agendas.
