The forums are TOMORROW, Sunday, March 21.
From Andrew Hagen, our Cable Guy Extraordnaire, comes the following important news:
Monona School and Community Cable (Channels 98 and 990) will sponsor two Candidate Forums on March 21st before the April 6th Election.
The first forum, for the Monona City Council, will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 on March 21st in the Community Media Room of the Monona Public Library. Questions for the candidates may be written at the forum, or called in during the live broadcast, to (608) 442-6601.
The second forum, for the Monona Grove School Board, will be held from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Monona Grove High School I.M.C. Questions for the candidates will also be accepted at the forum or by phone. However, questions for the School Board must be phoned in between 12:00 and 3:00 pm on March 21st to (608) 221-7666 extension 3133. Staff will not be able to answer the phone during the taping.
The League of Women Voters will provide an impartial moderator for each event, and both forums will be rebroadcast on Monona Community Cable Channel. Copies will also be available for viewing at the Monona Public Library, and on www.mononatv.com a few days after each taping.
Write congressmen Miller and Parisi to vote to extend the PEG channels so we can continue to get local coverage of civic issues.'
ReplyDeleteThe cable companies, especially Charter here in Monona, are trying to avoid supporting PEG's which were bargained in good faith when cable wanted entry into our communities. The subscriber fee percentages should be increased, rather than done away with. Those of you who use your basic cable know how good WYOU in Madison is for getting Democracy Now as well as programming of Bob Fest and other progressive political events. Maybe a Mononan is not supposed to find anything good about Madison...
Write or call your congressman(person) today.
