Huh, I thought I had subscribed to Tom Champion, but no voicemail for me. I'd have assumed the city just thought I don't live quite close enough to Cedar to care, but I know I live closer to Cedar than you do. Is there some special secret *real* place to sign up for Tom Champion and I just signed up for the fake news?

One of the things I found out (I had an extended fiasco relating to Josephine road construction, way more than I posted about, and ended up talking to a lot of city people) is that they only actually connect on 70ish% of the Tom Champion calls. If they don't connect they'll try your number again a few times, but there's a limit. Also, if they call and you pick up in the middle of the message, it will reset to play it from the beginning, but there's a 7-second delay, during which time you may have hung up the phone.

Upshot: there are ways to be on the list but not get a call, so you can increase your chances by subscribing multiple phones or signing up for email.
