Best Constituent Newsletter

District 19 Councilmember Freddie O’Connell’s email newsletter is a must-read rundown of the biweekly comings and goings of Metro’s legislative body. Sure, there’s the usual hyperlocal stuff about neighborhood events, and since it’s Germantown- and downtown-adjacent, there’s a lot of planning and zoning. But O’Connell also gives a detailed but breezy summary of all the council and committee business, plus an insider’s “What I’m Hearing” section for Metro obsessives who need all the hot goss, such as it as. For reporters, it’s a convenient and essential cheat sheet for what’s coming down the pike. For normal people, it’s a straight-to-your-inbox way to stay informed on local government. J.R. LIND
