State of the News
This week in Derby City raised more questions than it answered. Political players gathered to sign a bill funding the bridges project, and the Metro Council weighed in. Will progress speed up, and will there be tolls? The Senatorial candidates have released their second-quarter fundraising numbers, with some startling disparities. How will those play out as the campaigns continue? How is Cordish spending city money, and should they have to tell us? And the Mayor’s expected to make an announcement next week regarding his political future. What will he have to say, and what was he thinking when he uttered the now-infamous “poorer, blacker, and older,” comment? Listen to the Show
State of the News – July 10, 2009
This Friday, we’ll be trying something a little new for us – a look at recent news. We’ll talk with reporters about the big stories (and the stories that should have been bigger), put them in context, and take your questions about them. We want your feedback on our new approach to Fridays! Let us know what you think at soa@wfpl.org.
