S6 E1 | Building St. Pete: Duke Energy, the Rays, and Taxes w/ Copley Gerdes, St. Pete City Council

Owen sits down with Copley Gerdes, Member of the St. Pete City Council, to discuss the outlook on St. Pete's city development. With his prior personal experience owning a financial advising practice for 15 years and now as the Chair of the Budget, Finance, and Taxation Committee, Gerdes spends thousands of hours on the budget, giving him insight into what it takes to balance unlimited needs with limited resources.

From GO bonds, lowering millage rates, and the world's best law enforcement to negotiations with Duke Energy and the collapse of the Rays deal, this engaging conversation is a window into the city government in action and why local policies and budgets should be made from within. Listen until the end to hear Gerdes predict the landscape of St. Pete a decade from now and make his case for why St. Pete is the place to return home.
