Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee speaks with 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell in-studio on Friday, May 17. The visit comes on the heels of her first Community Bike Ride as mayor, and Foushee details the interest and importance of local bicycling. She also discusses a pair of resolutions passed by the Carrboro Town Council this week to recognize Police Week and Period Poverty Week. Plus, the mayor also details some of the items in Carrboro’s under-construction budget that stand out to her and shares an updated timeline of when to expect a final vote.
