In honor of Spring (finally) in Michigan, we interview John Lindenmayer, Advocacy & Policy Director (& Webmaster) for the League of Michigan Bicyclists, a non-profit organization devoted to the advancement of bicycling--for recreation and for commuting--and increasing the safety of bicyclists on the roadways in Michigan. Lots of events, legislation, and future initiatives to help support inexpensive transportation and a more healthy lifestyle!
Plus, we'll feature the latest Dearborn area news and, as always, alternative views to stimulate discussion.
Are the federal and state income taxes the best way to raise operating funds for these governments? Host Jay Korinek welcomes Linda Jolicoeur, spokesperson for Michigan FAIR Tax, for an in-depth discussion of what's wrong with the present system and several possible alternatives.
If "What matters to you most is right next door"--as our Station Advisor and WHFR Journal host Jay Korinek often says--then this is the show to listen to: a full-hour interview with Mayor O'Reilly regarding the latest news on current events in the City as well as status reports about ongoing projects. What's up with the new city hall? with the new train station? business development? city services? taxes?
What's been happening in our state government in Lansing? Get the inside story--during the last half of the show--from our local Representative from the 15th District--mostly all the Dearborn area--George Darany. Host Jay Korinek will ask him about his position on the big state issues and his own initiatives.
Originally broadcast live on WHFR on Feb. 26--but you may have missed it, so here it is again. With the Tribute, it runs just over 28 minutes so we will start the show with it, then go on to our coverage of other local news of the week.
Guest for one segment of the show today: Bob Oliver, reporter for the Dearborn Times-Herald weekly newspaper.
Includes special interview with Todd Lassa, Executive Editor of Automobile Magazine (begins about 55 minutes in).
Join Station Advisor Jay Korinek along with WHFR staff member John Conroy as they report on the Nov. 5 local election results and give analysis and commentary.
