Local Radio Stations, WGNY & WTBQ make changes Local radio stations WGNY & WTBQ switched
some on air personalities with Chris Cordani going from WTBQ to WGNY and
John Moultrie going the other way from WGNY to WTBQ where he host a talk
show from 9 AM to 11 AM. John's show features local news and local
people and I have been on his shows on all of the stations that he has
been on. The WTBQ Roundtable Discussion Hour is still on but it
is being hosted by different people each day. WTBQ has audio streaming
so you can get the radio station on the internet even if you can not get
the signal at 1110 on your AM dial. Check the WTBQ web site for
a full lineup, they have many programs that cover political issues from
all sides at different times during the day. CLICK

SEN. H****** R. C******* IN MIDDLETOWN ON MON. 7/7/02
I was able to go to the "Town Hall
Meeting". (Who ever called it that should be arrested for
false advertising. My idea of at "Town Hall Meeting would
be Sen. H****** R***** C****** being introduced and making a speech
and then accepting questions from the audience. As you would expect
that did not happen.) After Pledge of Allegiance by a group of
children and introduction of about 7 local political office holders,
most of them Republican, Mayor DeStefano gave a very short speech and
then asked 3 people to come up to present what would have been his speech.
First was a woman who talked about the Paramount Theater's history
and importance, second was a man who talked about downtown businesses
and its needs and third was a town department head who talked about
the 10s of millions of dollars that were needed for the Middletown infrastructure
especially water and sewer.

License fees for new season raised and DEC Automated Licensing System (DECALS) having problems "On May 16, 2002
the legislature approved the license fee increase package. New fees will
be in effect for the license year beginning October 1, 2002 and licenses
reflecting the increased costs will go on sale in mid-August. " Also, rumors are that the DEC is having
problems with the new DECALS
system and might have to figure out some way to deal with it. It
was my understanding that system has to work because one of the reasons
to have the system is to save money and one way they did that was to not
print up the old style licenses as a back up. The new licenses were
to start going on sale on August
19, 2002. I have called the DEC to try to get more information
and I am waiting for them to get back to me. They were suppose to
have the system in place by mid July but now they are shooting for the
end of August. Keep an eye on this one. |
