I had Kelly Reilly, a comedian and informed voter/volunteer, on my podcast to explain what the hell everything I'm voting for on the ballot actually means. The first hour is a lot of just general hilarious discussion about things and we touch on the Mayoral Race and key city council race. In the second hour we talk about every measure on the ballot. I you don't want to listen at all but just want to know what we ended up voting for I include all our recommendations below.
