After numerous pleas by Pat, we finally found a Democrat to come on and talk about civil unions and some of the other things they’ve offered up since their November victories. Laconia City Democrat Committee Chairman Ron Tunning will join us in studio. While editor of the Laconia Daily Sun, Ron was kind enough to offer me the Thursday column which I still pen some five years later. Joining him will be three students from the recently formed Laconia High School Gay/Straight Alliance. We’ll discuss this article from the Sun posted here on the ‘Grok about the group’s trip to Concord to watch the House pass the civil unions bill. Does this belong as part of what we call education? We’ll talk about the hard left of Ron’s party and the pitfalls they might create for the Democrats down the road. If time permits we’ll talk about SB 88- the public sector union giveaway plan, and SB 226, welfare "reform". This should be good. We’ve all agreed to be nice to each other and engage in factual debate.

Carol Shea-Porter promised she wouldn’t be beholden to any Democratic fat cats and their big $$ temptations, as she would refuse their money. Guess what? She’s had a slight change of heart. Michael Brady of the Majority Accountability Project (MAP) gives us the details.

On the local scene, myself and others have often held differing viewpoints on our school district, its main function, its administrative structure, etc. In many towns and cities here in the Granite State, the Superintendent of Schools is at once both loved and despised, and my town is no different. Joining us will be Gilford Superintendent Paul DiMinicio and School Board member Sue Allen. While we have all crossed the proverbial swords at one time or another, we are all good natured about it, and are pleased to have them on the program. We will discuss the recently conducted student attitude survey. (MS here) According to what I recall being reported in the papers, some 53% of the students said they don’t like their teachers. Is this a problem? When I was a kid, I’m sure I would have told you I didn’t like my teachers if asked. Seriously, we’ll find out what we’ve learned and where we’re going. Have we left any child behind?
