This week’s Echo Essentials podcast is half banter between co-hosts Scott Clark and Dave Dale before bringing in  seemingly-ostracized Coun. Jamie Lowery to discuss the progress and lack there of half-way into the four-year term.

Scott asks Dave about him stepping into a bit of Facebook “goo” while offering criticism about how a media release was republished by The Nugget as “submitted” without further attribution, unlike the credible job by BayToday staff, while also suggesting a news issue deserved more treatment by both.

As for Coun. Lowery, Scott asks why so many people don’t like dealing with him and Dave notes that his work as the chief executive officer of Casselholme Home for the Aged burned some bridges at the city. Meanwhile, Lowery said he considers himself an independent serving constituents and he’s not inclined to play the game of voting for a councillor’s motion to leverage a vote back in return.
