He didn’t want anyone to record his town hall meeting held in a public library but we’ve got the whole contraband hour right here.

State Senator Tom Reynolds called it a Senate meeting and he said it was closed to cameras. He didn’t know the person recording just set the camera down instead of shutting it off as he requested.

Hear the contraband town hall meeting that State Senator Tom Reynolds didn’t want you to hear.

You may have caught the first 5 minutes on JSOnline. The Spice Boys followed up with our original story complete with video of the first 5 minutes. We’ve got the whole hour including his anti-ethanol crusade and gun talk.

PODCAST: Milwaukee County Parks neglected by leaders

Jim McGuigan — Thu, 01 Jun 2006 04:00:43 +0000

This is the first installment of “Driving with Jim” handsfree podcasting.

You’ve seen how bad our parks have been maintained — now you’ll know why. I’ll explore some of the problems with our parks and name names. I also touch on mass transit and how Governor Jim Doyle gave County Executive Scott Walker additional funds for transportation only to have Walker use it for other purposes — resulting in more fare increases and service cuts.
