Hour One:
Segment 1 - Matt Murphy of the NH Advantage Coalition comes on to talk about HB 183 - trying to protect taxpayers from out of control spending.
Segment 2 - Doug and Skip talk about the Brouhaha that has enmeshed Belknap County (NH) Sheriff Wiggin - the top law enforcement officer in the county not following the law and Federal Regulations in applying for a grant for 6 Belknap County townships? And why is Laconia having to pay 20% of its grant to Sherrif Wiggin to administer the grant (if approved) while the other towns are paying only 10%? And of this money, how much is the Sherrif going to use to monitor / administer this grant, and HOW much is going to County purchases?
Former NH Senator George Lovejoy comes on to talk with Skip and Doug about the Federal Waxman / Markey "Cap & Trade" bill that will artificially raise energy costs an estimated $3,100 / family / year here in NH. Cost / benefit: will it really save the planet as its proponents state, or is is TONS of money for nothing as India and China refuse to cap their burgeoning CO2 emissions (and does that make a difference anyways)? Part 1 Part 2
Hour Two:
Bob Bestani (a regular contributor to the 'Grok) comes on to talk about his candidancy in vying for the Republican nomination to unseat Congressman Carol Shea-Porter in NH's First Congressional District. We discuss his background, his take on the world, the issues confronting the US, and what he can bring to the table and why he should get the Republican votes in the primary and again in the general election. Fast paced "world tour" of issues and stances for Part 1 and Part 2
Bob was also a guest co-host for the remainder of the show! Since things were going so swimmingly, we simply kept on going! Part 3 Part 4
