I listened to Hal Row's First Talk show on Thursday morning and he said since there isn't going to be a City Council meeting, this week, that the Monday Morning meeting with the Mayor is being pushed back two weeks and he is going to allow candidates to call in and announce their candidacy for the upcoming election.
Hal stated that he wants to keep this show positive. He doesn't want people calling in to attack the other candidates. I agree with those ground rules. We need to find out why these people are running, what they represent, and what they are all about. In the economic quandary that this area finds itself in, this election should be about ideas, not personalities. If we want to run a popularity contest, then why don't we throw a beauty pageant?
I can't wait to hear this show and I hope that the followers of the Hound will take time out and listen to Hal's show on Monday morning. I believe the call-ins will start after the news and such of the 8 o'clock hour. This is a good start to what I hope will be a vigorous debate about the concepts and ideas needed to lead this area into the future. Kudos to Hal and WHKY for having enough foresight and care for our community to provide such a forum.
