Todd spoke with BC Podcast host Roger Gros over the phone from his office in the Boulder City Brewing Company last week.

Today, we sit down with a candidate for City Council, Dan Patterson. His podcast took a rather strange twist after it was recorded. Several city residents posted news that Patterson had been a member of the legislature in Arizona but resigned shortly before he was to judged by the rest of the Arizona House of Representative for Ethics violations. He never mentioned that he had experience with elected office during the podcast. But as a resident of Boulder City, he certainly has a right to run for council. Now it’s up to the voters to determine if he was transparent enough during this interview. He  spoke with BC Podcast host Roger Gros at the podcast office in Boulder City in April.
