WGXC Morning Show: Election Day, Howie Hawkins (Audio)

Nov 02, 2021

Today is the final day of voting in this fall's town and county elections, with five ballot propositions, and several judges up for a vote. Tune in to find out everything about this year's elections. Plus, President Biden has headed off to the COP26 world climate summit in Glasgow after announcing that he had a "framework" to move his Build Back Better budget ideas on climate and social spending. Howie Hawkins, the recent Green Party candidate for President who first proposed a Green New Deal back in 2010, discusses with WOOC's Mark Dunlea whether BBB is adequate to solve the climate crisis and addresses the key issues to be dealt with in COP26.

The WGXC Morning Show is a radio magazine show featuring local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, with weather updates, and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC. The Catskill Makers Syndicate produce the "Better Weather" for the show. Rob Gelles produces the Columbia County history segment "Rob Around The County" and "This Month in History" for the show. Julia Joern produced the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment each week. The "WGXC Congressional Report" also airs here. Some reports come from our partner station, WOOC-LP in Troy, out of The Sanctuary for Independent Media. Tom Roe also cuts up local and national news with songs and sounds for the show. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. At 10 a.m., national headlines from Public News Service are on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are broadcast live here.
