Eighteen days before the election, Nick Welsh and Josh Molina joined the genial host for a new edition of Newsmakers TV on Friday, with all the latest news, analysis and commentary about the wide-open campaigns for mayor and city council.
In a week when the SB Independent shook up the local political landscape with a surprise endorsement of Eric Friedman over fellow termed-out incumbent Kristen Sneddon, the newspaper’s executive editor offers transparency and a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the assessments and judgment that went into the decision.
The three amigos also update the city’s other combative race — the four-way contest for the District 4 council seat representing the Riviera and Upper East neighborhoods — and offer an early look at how the referendums to repeal the controversial State Street Master Plan and the contentious rent stabilization ordinance may play out.
Plus: lots of candid commentary as the fellas throw multiple local political figures under the proverbial bus.
All this and more, right here, right now, on Newsmakers TV.
