Hey Gabriel, I am so pleased that you recorded a video. Way to go! And it gives you full credit for the video half of the final broadcast assignment.
One thing you may have noticed as you recorded this is that it gets unwieldy to read a list of panel participants.
Even though it's kind of "unfair," for a short broadcast story like this you'd have to pick one (or maybe two) of the panelists to focus on and pretty much ignore the rest. That way you could target one or two key points made during the panel discussion (like the drug story or the pothole story), which would make your story more focused.
You could also bring that topic into your lead by starting out with something like:
