Welcome to What’s the 311? A National Talk Show About Local Government, featuring hosts Stephen Volan, a member of a city council, Geoff McKim, a member of a county council, and Kelly Kuglitsch, a lawyer. In our inaugural episode, Steve, Geoff and Kelly introduce the idea of making city halls and county courthouses easier to navigate. They talk about the short phone number that some towns have activated to make navigating their bureaucracies as easy as "one call to City Hall." Geoff also gets into how counties differ from cities.
