Today Tom and Paul talked about the Bank robber who was cornered by police at the WCAP studios last week shortly they went off the air who shot and killed himself. Tom was on hand to take photos and videos of the incident and discussed how society is better off with the bank robber no longer breathing. Paul, of course was sad! In the second hour State Representative candidates Sal Tabit and Paul Adams debated in a very feisty exchange resulting in Tabit attacking Adams for his inexperience and Adams attacking Tabit for giving money to the Tim Murray campaign. Tabit called for bankruptcy for the city of Lawrence while Adams is calling for a control board or a receiver.

Tom and Paul talk about GOP state senate candidate Jamison Tomasek changing his position on Lawrence needing a finance control board, Candidate for Governor's Council Jason Panos came in and took a beating but he held his ground stating he believes in a "living breathing constitution". State Rep. Barry Finegold came in and tried to defend his vote for a $35 Million loan for Lawrence with no fiscal controls. Finegold also refused to address the fact that Lawrence Mayor Lantigua laid off 24 cops and 25 firefighters after getting the $35 million loan.

We also cut an hour of extra audio that did NOT air and the quality of the audio is TERRIBLE. We are working on cutting an extra hour each week if we can work out the audio kinks. This was our first test run. Not worth listening to.
