Happy Birthday Harry
Aired May 12, 2008
Last week Missouri celebrated the birthday of Harry Truman, our only native son to serve as President of the United States. Truman is remembered for a lot of reasons. But there is one action in particular that stands out because of the political courage it demonstrated.

Aired May 09, 2008

If this bill passes, the incentive for students to attend public institutions may decrease in preference for attendance at private institutions.

National Police Memorial Day
Aired May 01, 2008
There are no other professions in time of peace, where you can go off to work and there is the possibility that you will not return home alive. The families of Police Officers and Firefighters live with this reality every day. Anytime you do something the same way, year after year, there is a tendency to become complacent and apathetic. This year is different.

Life After Swoboda
Aired April 30, 2008
Kirkwood Mayor Mike Swoboda’s courageous return for his final council session earlier this month says much about Swoboda the person and Kirkwood the community.
