We have some videos to share with you to help us augment our discussions the last couple of weeks.
First off, here's a piece done for KCPT's The Local Show on the issue of judicial selection:
While we're talking about KCPT programming, here's this week's edition of Kansas City Week in Review. In this first clip, they elaborate further on judicial selecton:
Staying with Week in Review, they also talked about something we touched on with Paul Lyons: gun control. This talks specifically about gun control on the county level and Sheriff Frank Denning (brother of conservative State Senator Jim Denning, who hates me personally).
I briefly mentioned the JCCC Board of Trustees replacing Don Weiss, who resigned in October 2012, with an ideological polar opposite, David Lindstrom. JCAV, the student television station for JCCC (which I currently work for), got video of the two special Board meetings to pick Lindstrom.
This first video is the whittling-down of candidates. Among the names removed from the initial list were recent Democratic candidates for state office.
The second video was the actual meeting where Lindstrom and four others - all either centrist or too far to the right for our comfort - were interviewed and the vote was taken.
Four of the current Board members - Dr. Jerry Cook, Dr. Bob Drummond, Melody Rayl, and Stephanie Sharp - are up for re-election in April. Also running for the Board is a guest and friend of Sunflower Brew, Lee Cross. You can check out his campaign site at crossforthecollege.com
