For the first ten minutes, hosts Jay Korinek and Susan McGraw talk with HFC counselor Diane Green about an upcoming career workshop on campus, then Dearborn mayor John O'Reilly will answer questions about the issues in the city, based on his State of the City address in February (Journal podcast: 2-27-15) and events in the news since.

Delivered to a small audience on Wednesday, 2-15-15, Dearborn Mayor Jack O'Reilly outlined the recent successes and the future challenges to the city. With a recording made possible by the City, we will present this hour the full speech, running 36 minutes (we've only edited out the introductions of the attending special and honored guests). Then, with a few comments from host Jay Korinek, we will proceed with other local issues of the week.
