I mentioned I would be commenting on the Jefferson Exchange (linked in the permalinks on the right) when I had the chance.
If you have a radio and are able to listen from 8 - 10 (am or pm) in the State of Jefferson, listen to this guy (actually, if you have high speed internet, you can do the AM show anywhere via iJPR). Way back in the day, he was a County Commissioner and he has run for the Leg, too. He is basically an audio blogger for the first hour, in that he cribs his base news from a decent array of local sources (Medford, Eugene, and Sacramento papers) - then he offers great comment and opens up the phones for the community to join in a great dialog. Second hour, he has a guest. Today in the first hour, he tags the Legislature - a fairly lame quote from the Senate President about concensus on taxes / revenue being absent statewide triggered a well-reasoned snipe at what exactly legislatures are for - ehem - LEADING. The basic thesis repeats some themes of my race and other entries on this blog. We are electing this group of people to DO SOMETHING and their response is to sit around and wait for all of US to actually agree on a thing. PUH LEEEEEZZZZZ. Jeff, does your show endorse? Like the Ed Board of the Trib? (I know it can't - public funding and all).
I know we pay the Leg. crap, and thank them not at all...and knowing that I am RUNNING, but still. It's a job description, people. Try to do it.
I kinda wish I had a job that allowed me to listen more than my under 4 minute commute. At least today, I got to stay in my truck in the parking lot since it's my Bus Duty day.
The rebroadcast is great, but I can't call in!!! grrr!!!
