GRAND HAVEN — Two J’s in a Pod are Mary Ellen Murphy of WGHN radio and Sarah Leach of Ottawa News Network. This week’s episode starts out with a little singing.
Other highlights:
Dutch names are a journey.
Ottawa County Democrats having their own in-person town hall after U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga conducted a virtual version.
It was standing-room-only at Grand Haven Public Schools’ Board of Education meeting. Sarah was there as a parent and summarizes the experience, including the two hours of pubic comment with the community and staff members. Sarah wore two hats as a parent and journalist at the meeting and she believes a brief pause in the plan for Mary A. White Elementary would have been helpful.
Inside Sarah’s brain is pizza and fire.
Superintendent Kristin Perkowski will be on 92.1 WGHN on Wednesday morning, March 19.
Sarah says she felt a level of empathy for upstart groups, including Ottawa Impact, after feeling similar frustrations with how the Grand Haven school district handled the redistricting announcement. She talks about the feeling of being powerless and how that inspires one to act.
Newsrooms used to be packed with journalists.
