[Davisgig] Jim Frame's Community Broadband question to Council candidates and Yolo County Supervisor candidates yesterday - attached audio with candidate answers

[Lorenzo Kristov]

They need to be coaxed to see the light. That’s up to us. They work for us. Business as usual is no longer acceptable. 

The world we thought we had is gone. 
The next world is now being built. 
We’re all invited to create the next world.
- Michael Meade

Indeed, two of the most-specific points were negative ones (Walsh mentions the Astound-Wave deal, and Deos mentions the County spending discretionary money on law enforcement). It's nice to hear that access should be treated as a utility, but... we have two incumbents answering, and I didn't hear anything that lead me to believe the situation was going to improve soon. Anyone else hear differently?
