What happens when community voices refuse to be silenced? 

Carlin Lutzer welcomes back Benita Estes and Paul Howarth to tackle the controversial Foothills County Biodigester Project, political accountability, and the fight for transparency in local government. 

Benita reveals her decision to run for council after years of frustrating dealings with council decisions, while Paul exposes concerns over questionable development approvals, infrastructure issues, and safety risks. 

Together, they dig into what happens when residents push back, demand answers, and call for meaningful civic engagement. 

This is a passionate, eye-opening look at how local politics impacts daily life—and why your voice matters.
