The Anne & Mimi Crabbiness Hour

Anne & Mimi Crabbiness Hour (Episode 3): The Civics Breakdown. Join the councilors Anne Thalheimer (Ward 3) and Mimi Panitch (At-large) for an unfiltered, humorous, and deeply candid look behind the scenes of local government. In this segment, they break down their chaotic "working list" of topics for this episode. They tackle why municipal processes take so long, address confusing citizen demands for a public safety audit, and break down a massive "Zoom fail" that thwarted public attendance at a recent hybrid planning board meeting. They also preview an upcoming debate on zoning and why local government rules can feel like a perpetual cliffhanger. With Anne Thalheimer and Mimi Panitch. Recorded on May 19, 2026.
