The third Thursday of the month is our monthly Government Check-in show. In this episode, host Trisha Costello invited Doyle Holmes to start off the conversation with a brief history of community councils in the Mat Su Borough. Our in-studio guests were Mike Wood of Chase Community Council and Mike Volin of Trapper Creek Community Council. Calling in at the bottom of the hour was Representative McCabe, and we heard a brief update from the Talkeetna Community Council.
