DESCRIPTION:The show will also archive at http://radiolibre.org/brb/brb161229.mp3 -- 
 typically available some hours after the broadcast\n\nNewly-elected 
 Councilman Chris Krohn will  be interrogated around issues of Council 
 transparency and accountability,  restoring public spaces, immediate 
 cessation of the raids on homeless encampments and individuals, and his own 
 proposed programs.    \n\nKrohn was Mayor in 2002, ran unsuccessfully for 
 Supervisor and has written occasionally on political and activist subjects. 
  I and other homeless activists wrote about his administration and its 
 refusal in the main to advocate for human rights for those outside.  See 
 the 2002 Street Spirit stories at 
 http://www.huffsantacruz.org/StreetSpiritSantaCruz/StreetSpirit-main.html 
 .\n\nHas the former Councilmember grown a new set of wings and balls?   
 \n\nThis year  Krohn has kept up with the "politically acceptable" liberal 
 positions of the day such as former Mayor Lane's belated, partial, and 
 failed Sleeping Ban repeal proposal of last March.   He has also jumped on 
 the bandwagon of those betrayed by Bernie last summer.   \n\nKrohn did 
 speak about ending the Sleeping Ban in his opening Council speech on 
 December 13th.   And the After-Burn Coalition (the "New City Council" 
 group) did also raise that issue as a rallying point.  \n\nSince Krohn does 
 not have the potential majority he had and didn't use in 2002, it remains 
 too be seen whether in 2017 his rhetoric can be turned into concrete 
 action.  Such actions might be facilitating public records act requests, 
 raising issues on which he will lose in the short run, but educate in the 
 longer haul, and using the prerogatives of office to spotlight rather than 
 rubbersgtamp staff abuses.  However, there's often a yawning gap between 
 campaign promises (or statements made on the radio) and their fulfillment.  
 \n\nWe often find to our chagrin that those in power don't need  to act on 
 their rhetoric since they can't be held accountable for it.\n\nI may be 
 adding my own additions to call in questions to sharpen the discussion.\n
