Erie’s recent DEI battles between its county government, county council, mayor, and black and brown community made national headlines via The Washington Post. In a time when newly elected President Trump has declared DEI programs anathema, how will ERIE respond? We’re joined by former Erie County Council President Carl Anderson, who was sitting at the epicenter of this fact at the time. He gives us the backstory and a first-hand perspective into that battle and helps us understand where we are today. Tune in to hear the “whole story” as the late, great Paul Harvey stated. Enjoy!
