148 [S2E51]: David Henry, Incoming County Councilmember (At Large)

David Henry was first on in February, in his role as chair of the Monroe County Democratic Party, to explain the complicated caucus process that elevated Courtney Daily to the District 5 Bloomington City Council seat. Now he appears as an elected official in his own right, having won an at-large seat on the Monroe County Council. On January 1, when he takes the seat of friend-of-the-show Geoff McKim, a four-term councilmember who's retiring, Henry will be the only rookie on the council. We ask him about a wide range of topics, including county employee salaries, emergency management, and public health administration. And he gives us his general take on the difference between city and county councils, and the fiscal task that's the primary work of a county council.
