Are You Missing Any Money? Plus Public Art and the Pirates
It’s the Friday news roundup! The full squad is here celebrating the return of beloved Pirate Andrew McCutcheon and looking into how a revamped city commission could bring more equitable artworks to the area. Plus, how to look for unclaimed cash that could be waiting for you.
As always, our Friday shows are powered by great local journalism.
