Hour One:
All politics is local = Doug and Skip talk with Gilford Town Selectmen Gus Benevides and Kevin Hays, along with Town Administrator Scott Dunn, about the almost completed budget cycle and other things going on in town. As always, while we talk local, these same issues (budgets, overtime, health insurance, work rules, new buildings, financing) come up in your town as well – what are YOU doing to help out?
Snippets – Just click on Hour 1 above.
Hour Two:
We talk with John Wohlstetter, VP of the American Jewish Congress, comes on to talk about the current Israeli-Hamas war. Whose fault, what are some of the underlying issues, and what has to happen to obtain peace are among the topics discussed.
We also have Cassandra Nichols and Todd Lancaster from Ether Films back on the show to discuss the finished product – the political documentary of "Mile High" that traces the path of Luke, a 17 year old Obama volunteer from the Primaries to the General Election. Cassandra and Todd do a great job of interspersing clips of nationally known political pundits, luminaries, and candidates – with your MTNP hosts in the film (and yes, we were honored to be included).
