In Case You Missed It…
Another week, another version of In Case you Missed It…
Even though it was a holiday week, there was still a lot going on. Let’s get to it. Here is the week that was at RT.
Congressman-elect Eric Massa worked hard on the transition. He spoke with Monroe County Exec Maggie Brooks regarding the needs of Monroe County. Following on his visit to the GM Fuel Cell plant, he was on 1370 Connection with Bob Smith where announced he was driving one of their test cars to D.C. We wondered aloud if he and the rest of our reps will be able to help transform the auto industry into this vision.
We had fun with Christmas greetings and wishes ranging from Charlie Brown, and Dominick the Christmas Donkey, to the serious - with a somber note from Melissa Etheridge on the choice of Rick Warren. Speaking of which - there was more Rick Warren.
More tax dollars at work. COMIDA (the gift that keeps on taking) gears up to grant tax benefits for more mall development. The NY Yankees spend almost a half a billion dollars on three people. Good thing they are getting government help with their stadium.
