Is MNPD’s New Drone Policing Program Legal? Plus, Dolly Is Building a Buc-ee’s
As police drones take flight in Madison, Mayor Freddie O’Connell is defending their legality while others say they’re in violation of city code. Contributor Nicole Williams lives within the drone radius, and she joins Marie Cecile Anderson and Whitney Pastorek to share her thoughts. Plus, could a new bill restricting data centers prevent someone from building one next to the zoo? And why is retiring Lt. Gov. Randy McNally still trying to control Sen. Charlane Oliver … while misspelling her name? Plus, good news about Dolly Parton’s new travel stop, and our bonus segment Hell Naw takes on that rainy graduation ceremony down in Franklin.
