Scott Mason shares his insights on the work of a Town Councilor (audio)

FM #1563 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1563 in the series. 


This session shares my conversation with Scott Mason, 3 x former Town Councilor and twice Chair of the Town Council. We had our discussion in the Franklin TV & Radio Studio on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.


Our conversation covers 

  • Learning curve of a Councilor

  • Functioning with other councilors

    • Scott Mason (LinkedIn profile pic)
      Scott Mason
      only 1 of 9, takes 5 or 6 to get something passed

  • Handling the myth of ‘found money’

  • Impact and scope of decisions


The recording runs about 37 minutes, so let’s listen in.
