Three minutes at the podium is about 400 words, and most people waste every one of them.

In this episode, Ashley Price breaks down what public comment actually is, who is really listening, and why so much of it changes nothing. You’ll hear what went wrong at a Statesboro city council meeting over a data center rezoning, and how a two-minute comment at a school board meeting led to real action.

You’ll walk away knowing how to read the agenda and the packet, find the rules, figure out who actually has authority over your issue, and build a comment around one ask and one story. Plus what to do the day after so it counts.

Your assignment this week: pull up the next agenda for your school board, city council, or county commission, find the public comment rules, and put the date on your calendar.
