The Chamber believes what?

Okay so I did get a chance to hear the show. There for I don't know the direct comment made by chamber president David Ross. He appeared on the new business show on KDAL radio yesterday 1p.m.

This morning well listening to the news on KDAL they said he made a comment. The comments he made concerned me a bit. He said something like if you improve every business in Duluth by two or three employers then we don't need new business. Say what?

This sure sounds much like a good old boys club. Many citizens have been concerned about for years. Now yes I believe it would be great to improve our exciting business as along as they can grow. With that said we need new business as well. By not looking for new business we hurt the city. By the way it is part of the chambers mission to get new business to come to Duluth and grow the city.

If anyone knows exactly what he said let me know then I can make more comments. I am interested however in your thoughts on this. Should we just focus on the business we have and not worry about new ones?

Talk of the Town.

Live tonight from 7-9 pm. His guest this week Mayor Don Ness. Mayor Ness has been on a number of talk this last week and of course he had the State of the City on Monday.

We will blog about the show. Should anything interesting come up you can read about it here.

*****UPDATE*****

The interview was short and uneventful.

A great Mayor will deliever his State of the City tonight.

Superior Mayor Dave Ross will have his State of the City tonight. It is expected to focus in part on the employees and there hard work to keep Superior moving forward. Plus the cities other advantages. I would expect the Mayor to include a possible statement about Murphy oil expansion but not sure.

The Superior State of the City falls just one day after Duluth Mayor Don Ness made his speech at the DECC in Duluth last night. You can listen to the Superior State of the City on KUWS radio or you can attend it on the campus of UWS.

Just a side note I think Mayor Ness is doing a fine job. He is working his way into being a very good Mayor at this point.

To plow or not to that is the question.

Well you can't be right all the time and this time former city councilor Russ Stewart was dead wrong. He started his radio show today questing the city on why it was not out plowing.

This came up because unless you were living under a rock yesterday we got our first snow fall. If that is what you want to call it. He started saying that he was surprised the city was not out plowing and it must be because of the finical troubles we are having. Are you kidding me? We were out last night about 8 and yes it was snowing but it was not staying on the roads. I was out later then my wife when I went home after work at 9 there was still no snow on any road. There was not even slush. It was wet, but not froze. The roads were in the same conditions as if it was raining and the city can't do anything about that.

The city did what they should have and that was nothing. As there was nothing they could do. Way to react correct Duluth.

Talk radio changes.

Well if you have not noticed there have been changes in the local talk radio seen. KDAL radio has changed almost all there local talk. They got ride of Joe Souchery and replaced him with the awful Rhonda Grusendorf and a former City Councilor Russ Stwart. Well Stewart's show is just getting going I think it can be a good show. I think he needs to show a bit more emotion on the air and raise and lower his voice at the right times but it will come with experience. He has little radio experience. Rhonda is on 1-3 and Stewart is on 3-5 p.m.

Also on the KDAL is a brand new show that started today and I don't remember when I heard her on. Corrinda Horton is on I believe it was 11 A.M. or so. The KDAL web site does not have there right line up on there page, plus they still have all the old on air staff still on there page. There page has always been a joke.

WDSM is the Conservative talk station of the North now it seems. There line up all day and night is those that believe in the republican agenda. Which is fine by me you get some of both on both of these stations. WDSM has local talk as well with Lew Latto from 7-9 A.M. and Brad Bennette from 9-11 A.M.

Well this leaves many people to wonder if Joe Souchery and GL will be back on Duluth radio. As the show had a huge following in the norhtland. The rumor is it will be back on it's original home of WEBC with in the next few weeks. This is just a rumor at this point.

Talk of the Town.

I was not able to produce the show this weekend as I worked at my main job. Tracy had Brandon Stahl on talking about Burgers.

The thing that caught my attion was Roger Reinert who is running for the vacated seat of 7B Representative. Jaros is not seeking re-election this time. Reinert a Duluth City Councilor was the first to announce he was running for the seat.

I was impressed with what he said I did not agree with everything. I do however think he is the best DFL candidate at this point. If that is the way you vote.

I will have more later.

Talk of the Town.

As I Mentioned before, Tracy Lundeen with host a new talk show. The show will air every Saturday morning on the Fan (WEBC560).You can also listen to the show live on the internet at www.fan560.com.

LOL......

I thought it was funny as I was listening to radio today. I heard a commercial for Hillary. It made me laugh because it was on Duluth stations. I thought by you are a day late. She does not even know when Minnesota votes.

I know I heard the ad and it was geared to Wis. but I still thoght it was funny. Yes the Duluth stations of course reach into Wis. however she did not advertize for the Minnesota caucse at least not up here and now she is for the Wis. vote. Just got a kick out of it .

Rhonda gone off KDAL Radio, thank GOD.

Rhonda Grusendorf who had a radio show on KDAL radio has ended her programming. Her last show was late last week.

She said on air that the station was going in a diffrent direction then she wanted to. The fact is the station is going the way radio is going today.

Her show was very annouing, it was by far a chick show. Not only that but she should not be on the radio or anywere but jail.
