Thank you WSLS. It is so helpful to let us know that there will be a meeting tonight to discuss some critical matters that could have significant impact on many of our lives in the next few years. It is a crying shame that other media outlets and the governing bodies could not do the same thing. It is also too bad that many fold will miss it, including our household, because of previous plans. If, however, we know about it before today it is certainly possible that more would attend including us. Oh well. We are getting used to this kind of stuff when it comes to informing the people who vote especially when one or more of the candidates might not fit your station’s political leaning. It was just a fluke that we were able to watch the Governor types debate on your station.
