55. Where the Hell is Michelle? Belkot, the CTran Board, and the Backlash
Update: 2025-03-20
Description
Karissa returns solo from a long hiatus to talk about Clark County Councilor Michelle Belkot's recent rogue behavior at the CTran Board to stop light rail on the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) project, her ouster by fellow councilmembers, and the backlash.
Karissa also uncovers through hard research another Belkot scandal that was long rumored but never proven, and discusses the skewed presentation of public sentiment the Council experiences thanks to corporate interests and the loud voices of the privileged.
Please use this rundown as a launchpad for action when a hearing about light rail (but not really about light rail) comes before the Council! We need mass local mobilization to protect light rail as climate action and accountability for those in power.
