The attempted theme of today's Pulse Of The Taxpayer was to get support from listeners regarding local candidates.  The theme was relatively successful.  Thanks to all who understood what I was doing.

Today's show was disappointing.  After such a great positive and productive show yesterday, today we sank to a level so low I was tempted to not even submit it as a podcast.  Nevertheless, here it is.  Listen to it if you want but nothing constructive was said and it is mostly a rehashing of the same old stuff.  What seems to be missed by many people is that if you are going to debate then you should be prepared with facts and examples.  Not a series of unrelated acquaintances.

With that said, let's hope tomorrow we can stick to the issues of local, state, and national/international concern on Pulse Of The Taxpayer.
