Equal Time Radio Show

• We talk with Jeff about the Obama address and the incredible concessions he got from BP
• Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson talks  about what exactly the Auditors office IS and other topics like the New electronic candidate filing, a tax issue that could close soon depending on what the Leg in DC does and Animal Control. We look forward to future discussions with Julie on other important issues.
• Richard Perez, executive producer of a documentary series  In Their Boots. A series just picked up by PBS to begin airing on KCTS channel nine on July 2nd. This important series documents the plight of today’s military and the stresses placed on our soldiers. DON’T miss it

This week we spent a half hour talking with Tacoma City Councilman Ryan Mello about many issues. Good job so far Ryan.

Marty Campbell joins us to talk about the Tacoma City Council’s vote to chastise Arizona’s “hate brown people ” law. Robert Satiacum updates us on his Day of a Thousand Drums.

A Fox news station in turmoil. Imagine that. Greasy oil execs lie, point fingers and make fools of themselves. Our returning Vets are in BIG trouble and we owe it to them to DO something about it. But we’re not sure what…………

Our Olympia hostage Traci was released from the marble halls of Olympia after six long weeks. WELCOME BACK Traci!!!!!

This was a good one. Our man on the floor of the HOUSE joins us and talks about the latest in Olympia. A guy named Vivian, YES VIVIAN from the I-1068 campaign talks about how and why legalization of marijuana should be done in Washington. Makes sense. We got a surprise call from a gentleman named Brian. The surprise is that he is a self-identified conservative. AND he agrees that 1068 is a good idea. Good for you Brian, thanks for listening.

This week we talk about how proud we are of the voters and our auditor.We also talk about gangs and Pam Roach. To top it off we invited Washington State Patrol Trooper Brandy Kessler to discuss road rage and how to avoid it.

I THINK this is a first on KLAY. Our man on the floor of the House Steve Kirby (D-29) actually cast TWO votes LIVE on the air. Steve has been doing this segment of Equal Time during the sessions for a couple years now, and it’s always very interesting to get a live perspective from Olympia from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. BUT this is the first time I can remember him actually taking a vote while on the phone to us. Kinda like C-Span except without the TV set. Thanks Steve, we’re looking forward to hearing from you next week.

Steve Kirby (D-29) IS our man on the floor of the House. He calls our show every week FROM the floor of the House to give us a report on the proceedings. This week we also do a post STOU address and we think he nailed it, AND nailed THEM, both the GOP blockers as well as the Supreme court corporate majority. We were VERY impressed.

It’s been a LONG couple weeks. But we are excited about the new year. Traci is going to be on hiatus for a few weeks in order to serve as an intern in Olympia. We talk about our first responders and their sense of family.We are proud of our President and we’re NOT ashamed of it. We talk about the “wisdom” of public officials who don’t have a CLUE what is going outside of their gated little world. They make decisions based on a map, and don’t give a tinker’s DAMN how it effects PEOPLE. We also have a “red-state report” with our friend Grouchy. Welcome back Grouch!
