Corey Branch--Raleigh, NC councilor--wants one simple thing at a council meeting (to my chagrin, it's not a flamethrower). We talk about the role of race, age, and being singled out. Plus, he fills me in on what happens in a hypothetical "closed session." City Council Chronicles provides reviews of city council meetings from across the United States and Canada.
