Feb. 1 Show

Guest: Janet Higgins, some local teachers, and people affected greatly by the cuts to education funding.

Recommended Stream: The Jeff Farias Show site.

Janet is one of the coordinators of the East Valley Chapter of Progressive Democrats of America, and is a former Chicago Public School Teacher, with a degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Arizona. She has spent a great deal of time following the impact of the budget cuts planned by our state legislators. Our new Governor Jan Brewer, an enemy of education, is certainly going to hurt our state. We will have teachers and even a small business owner to discuss the direct blows this stupidity is going to cause them as well as our community. Many at large risk in our population will be hurt to the point they will be homeless, not to mention this will set the state of Arizona back in development of economic strength for decades.
We also will have reports and hopefully callers from Hancock County Mississippi to update the problems still facing them in that area after Katrina and the storms of the last hurricane season.

The show will be 3 hours, starting at 9AM Phoenix time and 10 AM central.

    Hi, im new to this kind of stuff actually a guy by the name of phelps (i think thats how its spelled) got me into it. So with that im a 17 year old student from Freedom, Pennsylvania. Now about the education im sure as we all know with the an economic depression looming over our heads that we all are goign to have to make sacrifices. The best thing that we can do is wait it out and hope for the best. Now keep in mind though we are borrowing large amounts of money from foregin countries which in teh end could leave us volnurable to another attack from anybody. “And the Great Empire shall fall” as said about the Soviet Union may actually take a turn and mean us. So why worry about one small town when theres millions of people that are going to suffer through this and its going to take the whole country to realize the truth about this.

Got something to say?
