***This episode of Bowl After Bowl was originally published April 6, 2014. The title and notes have been republished as originally written*** We're kicking off Bowl After Bowl with a special election edition! I sit down with Mark Flakne, one of the founders of Keep Columbia Free, to discuss the municipal election coming up on Tuesday. We start with a little background on Keep Columbia Free, then we get into the ballot questions as well as some local issues including the city's efforts to widen Rock Quarry Road and an upcoming city proposal to lessen the penalties for personal cultivation of marijuana. You can find the Keep Columbia Free blog here, or like their Facebook page here.
