Summary: Rich Tran--Milpitas, CA mayor--is a huge fan of Barack Obama's, and that fandom landed him in some hot water after his inaugural speech. He talks about why it is unfortunate that his council members adopted a censure policy and how he battled his city attorney over what he could talk about in a public meeting. City Council Chronicles provides reviews of city council meetings from across the world. Named a "Top 100 Local Government Influencer" in 2016 and 2017 by ELGL.org.
