I have heard that the proposed buyout of Olson's contract had become all the rage on conservative talk radio programs in the area. I assume it's not often that municipal issues this specific become fodder for conservative radio talk show hosts in the area. While the influence of this listserve on city policy decisions has been questioned, we certainly represent a more diverse cross section of the population than conservative talk radio.
I've heard that several conservative radio talk show hosts where urging their listeners to call their city councilmembers to speak out against buying out Olson's contract-even providing the numbers to call on the air. Could such talk radio programs and their audiences have had undue influence on our city council's perception of public opinion? Could someone who is a listener to conservative talk radio confirm whether this issue was raised there over the last couple of weeks? I have not listened to conservative talk radio since having a boss who played Patriot Radio all day every day, loud and clear, in the office. I suffered through repeats of Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" at the beginning and end of my workdays.
