'Garbage' Story, Hops Co. Meeting Audio

Published: Dec. 1, 2018, 1:24 p.m.

The Valley Indy was criticized by local Democrats last week for sharing a New Haven Independent story detailing a controversy between the president of the state's NAACP and the Connecticut Young Democrats.

In this episode of "Navel Gazing: The Valley Indy Podcast," reporters Eugene Driscoll and Ethan Fry read and react to the negative comments posted on Valley Indy social media.

The later part of the podcast features (low quality) audio from last month's Derby Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, during which the commission rejected a "zone text change" application from The Hops Co., a popular beer garden on Sodom Lane, that would have created a 'development district' for certain properties in the city.
