WGXC Morning Show: Susan Lerner, Blair Horner (Audio)

Oct 20, 2021

Today we offer another election preview. Voters in NYS will decide on 5 ballot propositions this November. #1 is Legislative Redistricting; #2 Environmental Rights #3 Same-Day Voter Registration #4 No-excuse Absentee Voting #5 Raise NYC Civil Court Limits. Susan Lerner of Common Cause and Blair Horner of NYPIRG discuss with WOOC's Mark Dunlea why their groups recommend a yes vote on all five. Plus, we tune in previews of some of the other local elections this fall.

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.
