Saturday 2-4PM WEMJ 1490AM: Meet the New Press
Meet the New Press- Saturday October 21, 2006 **SHOWTIME UPDATE**
With the arrival of Pat's new baby, Grace Kathyryn Hynes, he bows out of the program this week, leaving host duties to me and Skip. Rumor has it he will be in the house! (studio)
.
First off we will discuss some local issues, including why the Budget Committee is NOT the Grinch that's stealing Christmas and what MUST happen if Gilford is ever to get a handle on property taxes. Join in at 527-1490.

GilfordGrok blog got you down? Or has it riled you up? Energized you? The Friday Union Leader ran a story about a Selectman/blogger in Milford, NH who's got some in that town's government feeling rather uneasy these days. The blogosphere is changing politics at every level of government- including the local level. I blogged the story over at GraniteGrok. We'll talk about it during the program.
.
We will have, in studio, Gilford School Board member Margo Weeks, to discuss the fallen soldier memorial project that the school's students have taken up. Fundraising is ongoing. Margo, like Skip and myself, is a huge supporter of our men and women in the military. This is a fantastic project that is underway right here in Gilford.
.
Liz Mair of GOPProgress.com is blogging her way through New England covering the upcoming US national elections, especially the "hot" seats in play. She joins us in studio to talk politics and blogging.
.
Other topics will be added as we sort through them between now and showtime. I'd like to discuss my Thursday Daily Sun column about the game of Tag being banished from the school playground if time permits.
.
Check back for updates. Remember, tune in to 1490 on the AM radio dial Saturday at 2:00 till 4:00 in the afternoon. Phone calls are welcome at 527-1490.
