Podcast of Paying Attention! Saturday, May 23, 2009

Click link above to listen to both hours
It was one topic for two straight hours and it was DON'T MISS radio. Lawrence City Council President Patrick Blanchette and the dynamic duo, Nilka Alvarez and Grisel Silva's disgraceful behavior at last week's city council meeting needed to be exposed and Tom did more than that. Their attacks on police chief John Romero and their efforts to hamper the effectiveness of law enforcement on the streets of Lawrence were blatant and shocking. Once you start listening to this week's program and you hear the words of these councilors from their own mouths, you won't be able to turn it off. Council President Patrick Blanchette blurts out where an undercover narcotics police officer lives and berates chief Romero. In the second hour, former Councilor Nunzio DiMarca, who started this mess three years ago (and first proposed preventing undercover police officers from taking their unmarked cars home) called into the show claiming to be "pro-police" and stating he would NOT have supported Patrick Blanchette's proposal to allow the council to micromanage the day to day operations of the police department.
