Athens News Matters: "Sewer Socialism" - The New Way to Think About Work Force Development

accgov.com

Two words you do not hear often in the same sentence is “sewer” and “socialism”. We do not spend a lot of time thinking about these two terms, especially in conjunction, but to ACC Commissioner Mariah Parker, “Sewer Socialism” could be a new and perhaps better way to think about work force development.

Commissioner Mariah Parker joins WUGA's Chris Shupe to talk about issues facing Athens, including opposition to the Police Department’s Drug Taskforce, and to tell us about a movement known as “Sewer Socialism.”

Chris Shupe was the Program Director of WUGA from 2014-2022. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! After two years as a part-time announcer, Chris Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director. He was later promoted to PD in 2014.
