Real talk and absolutely honesty and transparency. Good communication and math. Chickens as public art. In this fun and funny conversation with Megan Sladek, mayor of Oviedo, Florida, Ben and Cate heard about the connections between historic preservation and smart growth, better ways that local government and the free market can work together, and the trade-offs between more density and higher taxes. As a small-government conservative in a rapidly growing suburb, Mayor Sladek has developed an uncommonly canny abiliyt of how to communicate the values of walkabilty and sound planning principles - often when people are most reluctant to hear about them. Come for the shrewd and candid chat about fiscal responsiblity, stay for the funerals for Oviedo's most famous free roaming rooster.
