Who Really Runs Your Town?: MST Zoom Jan 6 2026

MST Tuesday Zoom Call: January 6 2026

In this video we’re trying something new — and we think you’ll find it both fascinating and practical. Ken will host a live, unscripted interview with an artificial intelligence language model, commonly known as ChatGPT. For the conversation, we’ll simply refer to it as “the Model.”

The focus is municipal power — where it actually sits, why citizens often feel ignored, and what you can do now to be ready for the October 2026 municipal elections.

What we’ll cover:

Who voters think runs a town — and who actually does
Why councils change, but policies often don’t
Regional boards and hidden decision-makers most voters never hear about
Where citizens still have real leverage (and what actually works)
The one question to ask every candidate before 2026
