Justice Served?

It's the (long overdue) very first episode of the Josh's Uncommon Sense Podcast, and the first topic is no light subject matter.  Josh looks at the David Gadelkarim case, the overall process of justice in Hillsdale County, and the part of the story we're not being told.  It's not a good situation, and you need to know exactly why this is happening.

City Council Approves Archery Deer Hunt

The Hillsdale City Council unanimously approved a measure at Monday night's meeting to hold a limited archery deer hunt within the city limits this year.  This is the same in-season hunt that has been held in previous years dating back to 2010, which Hillsdale Police Chief Scott Hephner reminded the council is not the same thing as the state-operated deer cull.
