[SPEAKER_14]: Uh-huh.
18:13
[SPEAKER_11]: What the hell are you doing on my property?
18:16
[SPEAKER_14]: Beats me.
18:17
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I want somebody else to get in there.
18:23
[SPEAKER_13]: But after dinner on air, hey Jeff, councilman shown last like came up with a good idea about passing a local law about all these non-for-crossed, giving out the needles for the needles hearing program.
18:36
[SPEAKER_13]: Uh-huh.
18:36
[SPEAKER_13]: Catch that.
18:38
[SPEAKER_14]: I know I didn't.
18:40
[SPEAKER_13]: So he brought up the idea that he wants a local law that's passed.
18:44
[SPEAKER_13]: That says that these non-for-crossed, test to put their logo or their name on these needles
18:53
[SPEAKER_13]: and also for these uh... that's the promise to give them out they have to collect seventy five percent of the used ones before they can give up the new one you know if they could be uh... we know that that's driving that needle program is driving that drug epidemic where are the needles where are the needles that's a good question out of all that probably all over the streets of water down
19:20
[SPEAKER_14]: Don't they just give them a problem?
19:22
[SPEAKER_13]: That's what he's trying to fix it.
19:24
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, you go to these places wanted to give you a method on or something.

[SPEAKER_13]: You know, other than what happens afterwards when you see someone on it.
19:39
[SPEAKER_09]: Huh?
19:41
[SPEAKER_13]: But I thought it was a great idea that he wants to bring that up
19:47
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm sure that the mayor would go along with them and maybe at least shame.
19:52
[SPEAKER_13]: And maybe even, what is the, not correct for the officer?
19:57
[SPEAKER_14]: Probation officer, yeah.
19:58
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
19:58
[SPEAKER_13]: Probation officer.
20:00
[SPEAKER_13]: You would probably go along with something like that.
20:02
[SPEAKER_13]: Maybe I don't know, but.
20:04
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, I don't know either.
20:05
[SPEAKER_13]: I think it's a good idea.
20:06
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
20:08
[SPEAKER_13]: I have a question for that.
20:10
[SPEAKER_13]: You probably wouldn't know.
20:12
[SPEAKER_13]: The city clerk to read something during communications like an email.
20:16
[SPEAKER_13]: What's that process?
20:19
[SPEAKER_14]: But after a dress a letter to the city council.
20:23
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay.
20:25
[SPEAKER_13]: Like the whole council.
20:26
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, I would, uh, mayor and council, and then she'll read it.
20:30
[SPEAKER_14]: But may not, she may just summarize it.
20:32
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know.
20:33
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay.
20:34
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, the thing is, like, I send in the communication a few times, and she has a reddit.
20:39
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, I call it.
20:40
[SPEAKER_13]: today and she's like, well, I didn't know if you were just addressing it because when I set the email, I only sent it to like four people.
20:47
[SPEAKER_13]: I didn't send it to the whole council.
20:49
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
20:49
[SPEAKER_13]: She said, oh, because you didn't send to the whole council, you know, I didn't read it.
20:53
[SPEAKER_13]: So I soon, you know, whatever.
20:55
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, you should send it.
20:56
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, emails make things differently.
20:58
[SPEAKER_14]: It used to come in a paper version now, it's different, but yeah, just...
21:02
[SPEAKER_13]: e-mail to everybody and uh... i don't know what he wanted that was the mistake once you're later all about what what is what's your letter about so my letter was about the direct shows that you're being going on over at the hawk street i want to know the regulations like because according to the abuse and the city code you can be next to residential the show cannot be find out from a public view from like a sidewalk
21:29
[SPEAKER_14]: And there's some, you know, first of all that, it's all that entertainment ordinance.
21:33
[SPEAKER_14]: Back when Bob Sly was in there, he used to say it was unconstitutional, so in plus, people don't care about, people don't care about that stuff.
21:43
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, people do care about that stuff.
21:45
[SPEAKER_14]: You do, but nobody else to.
21:47
[SPEAKER_13]: Maybe there's one, not the only one, I might be the loudest one about it, but well, I wasn't aware they were even holding, you know,
21:54
[SPEAKER_13]: drag shows but so what if they are because what they do is they only advertise it a couple days before happens usually on a Saturday right all so they do a real quick demand them thinking and outdoor because they'll never announce it whether there's enough time to you know so according to the coach for the final program I want to know if there's been permits filed for this
22:20
[SPEAKER_14]: And why is it, listen, all of that stuff about permits and all that's all nonsense, just let people live their lives.
22:28
[SPEAKER_13]: Being next to residential within 500 feet, there's houses right across the street.
22:32
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, do they care?
22:34
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, there's this and this is what's written.
22:39
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay, this is what the codes are.
22:41
[SPEAKER_13]: This is what the law is.
22:43
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay, if these people want to use law fair against me, well, then I'll use the law fair against them.
22:51
[SPEAKER_14]: I get it.
22:52
[SPEAKER_13]: This is what the rules are.
22:55
[SPEAKER_13]: Then follow them, and if they're not allowed, then stop them, okay, and if they're pushing this out there, and the most for them, so be it.
23:05
[SPEAKER_13]: But there are other people that agree with not having them in the city of Watertown, especially right next to Reddentville.
23:14
[SPEAKER_14]: How often, how often have they really had a drag show there?
23:22
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, the, the drag show person doesn't like to show every month up here, and it's sometimes it's over on hot street, sometimes it's over at the golf course on hives and sometimes it's ahead of it because you will a couple years ago, you know, and that's what caused Mr. Sly and everybody to change the, the laws because they, they was illegal then when I complained about it and they, the colds went in and changed everything.
23:48
[SPEAKER_13]: Why is it illegal?
23:50
[SPEAKER_14]: But what's the basis for you saying it's illegal?
23:54
[SPEAKER_13]: Somebody who doesn't read it because it can be viewed.
23:57
[SPEAKER_14]: Somebody dressed as a woman here.
23:59
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh my god.
24:00
[SPEAKER_13]: You can't have an adult use.
24:02
[SPEAKER_14]: Not an adult.
24:04
[SPEAKER_13]: You can't have a scene like that.
24:05
[SPEAKER_13]: They could be viewed from a public area.
24:08
[SPEAKER_13]: Especially, you can't be within 500 feet.
24:10
[SPEAKER_13]: Resident actually can't be 1500 feet from a school or church.
24:15
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, those ones I think are okay.
24:16
[SPEAKER_13]: But the residence was raised across the street.
24:20
[SPEAKER_13]: Not even well nobody's looking at anybody's window it cross trussers Not that one the doors wide open oh my god and you can see it's listen there's fit there's video evidence of it There's pictures of it And this being billed as 18 in a box But there's reports of people that were under 18 now did I cart these people now?
24:44
[SPEAKER_13]: But I'm saying there are reports that there were people under the age of 18
24:49
[SPEAKER_14]: these people are advertising it as a team in the box same place same place as we were just talking about on the outstreet yes but anyway that's what my letter was about okay that's fine all right thank you you know i like these people say where i want to continue on that i'm going to complain that don't bother
25:17
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, we got a lot of stupid laws on the books, and he don't need to give them an excuse to enforce them, so don't.
25:26
[SPEAKER_14]: The fact of somebody's holding drag shows, whether it be in a wherever it is, who cares?
25:36
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
25:40
[SPEAKER_14]: I can't imagine there was that many of them up here.
25:49
[SPEAKER_14]: one or two uh... such people but i don't know what can i say but after doing run here good afternoon uh... which you care to come at and the uh... to the council meeting last night relative to the trash situation well i i read some of the summaries of what was said i agree with mr. monarchle
26:18
[SPEAKER_14]: I think it should be retained and I think they should try to grab back more market share with better marketing.
26:27
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, do you realize that in August of 2024, Brad, we could set up DPW when and record things the city should not be in the trash business?
26:40
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
26:41
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, my understanding is that's his opinion.
26:43
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know the gentleman, so.
26:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, he's the head of DPW.
26:48
[SPEAKER_05]: and you'll notice he was a fairer last week's meeting.
26:52
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you think he would have been replanted for him to participate in this discussion?
26:59
[SPEAKER_14]: I suppose if he knew what was going to happen, but I didn't know what was going to come up either.
27:06
[SPEAKER_14]: How did it come up?
27:07
[SPEAKER_14]: Just because Monaco said something, or?
27:11
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not aware of it.
27:12
[SPEAKER_05]: I picked it up in the studies.
27:17
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know much more about it, so I'll let you go on that.
27:22
[SPEAKER_14]: But I agree.
27:24
[SPEAKER_05]: You think you saw Madico's presentation the number of years that the city was in the black and this trash removal?
27:36
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, I think.
27:39
[SPEAKER_14]: It's very tough from the council's viewpoint.
27:42
[SPEAKER_14]: If they try to get involved in running anything, it's like,
27:47
[SPEAKER_05]: everything has to go through one man and all that so i mean it's very tough to change anything i don't know whether the whether they've run the department in such a way that they hope to get it phased out i don't i don't i don't know that well i don't you think with a lot of the this car now for the last couple years it's been negative about a city collection and there's been a lot of uncertainty the information they've provided
28:16
[SPEAKER_14]: I agree with it.
28:18
[SPEAKER_14]: I think that's probably trying to deep sex.
28:20
[SPEAKER_14]: But there's not much here if the council says keep doing it, they can't tell these department heads what to do.
28:28
[SPEAKER_14]: Is they don't answer the council?
28:29
[SPEAKER_05]: But you have a city manager who controls the department.
28:33
[SPEAKER_05]: He could offer direct swimming counseling for the head of DPW.
28:37
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, was it turned key operation when he took it over?
28:41
[SPEAKER_14]: He probably agrees with the department heads take on it though.
28:45
[SPEAKER_14]: So you're not going to get
28:47
[SPEAKER_14]: any change out of him.
28:48
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, not like it is telling what to do when he does that.
28:51
[SPEAKER_14]: He does what he wants.
28:53
[SPEAKER_05]: You mean the department has a city manager?
28:56
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, well, yeah.
28:58
[SPEAKER_05]: The city manager should be promoting what the taxpayers wish, which was a retention of the service.
29:05
[SPEAKER_14]: Right.
29:05
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, I think the city manager should be the mayor, so I'm not, you know, I'm in that camp.
29:12
[SPEAKER_14]: But apparently isn't a minority view.
29:15
[SPEAKER_14]: They like an outside person brought in to fall in want to do and now you got it.
29:20
[SPEAKER_05]: Also, you're of the opinion of what the charter commission worked on a couple of years ago that we should revert from a city manager type of government to a strong mayor type of government.
29:32
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, I do think that's the best idea.
29:35
[SPEAKER_05]: And you think that there are individuals that could be found locally to able
29:42
[SPEAKER_14]: We don't find them after they have to come forward, obviously.
29:47
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh, I don't know.
29:49
[SPEAKER_14]: It happens everywhere.
29:50
[SPEAKER_14]: You go to Yudika, Rome, Amsterdam, little falls, Blacksburg, they elect them all the time.
29:58
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, this argument that, oh, we don't have anybody here.
30:02
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, I don't know.
30:04
[SPEAKER_14]: Do we have any people capable to be city manager from the city if you want somebody from the city?
30:09
[SPEAKER_14]: No.
30:13
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't agree with it.
30:15
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, I know that's not the opinion of some.
30:18
[SPEAKER_14]: I just don't happen to agree with it.
30:19
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't hate the guy.
30:20
[SPEAKER_14]: I just don't agree with it.
30:22
[SPEAKER_05]: So you think that there are individuals here locally that could be city manager?
30:28
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, they could run from air and then the voters have to decide.
30:33
[SPEAKER_14]: ultimately if you don't trust the voters that's that you know and no one person runs everything in life is obviously uh... administrative assistant all of that so it's not but you know i don't know call it that's part of it they have a strong mayor government and fewer people in we do ask them how it works well the other thing is that are you aware that once someone becomes mayor they can't be removed from office of the body governor
31:06
[SPEAKER_14]: Well you don't practically speaking you don't because to get to that threshold or you say you're out the door that very seldom happens so no i i look at i mean you don't really have any practical way to get rid of the president or governor midterm no but i mean you're a practical way to get rid of the city manager once you hear the getting rid of the strong mayor
31:35
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, that's fine.
31:36
[SPEAKER_14]: If that's the way you want it to be, you know, go ahead.
31:40
[SPEAKER_14]: You can advocate.
31:41
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't agree with you.
31:45
[SPEAKER_14]: I have a different mindset on it.
31:46
[SPEAKER_14]: I'm based on my life experiences and all of that, and what I know of governance around the state and here in Watertown.
31:53
[SPEAKER_14]: That's just my opinion.
31:55
[SPEAKER_05]: So with the strong mayor, would you still retain the council?
31:59
[SPEAKER_14]: Of course, you have a common council.
32:02
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, people have got, I know they don't teach civics in the schools anymore, but somebody's got to start learning how municipal municipalities have structured.
32:11
[SPEAKER_05]: You got a strong mayor in New York City and Zoran Mamdami, but you still have a city council.
32:24
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know, I mean, obviously your dead set against it, so, and you know, I kind of convinced me, so that's that, but I appreciate your viewpoint, okay?
32:35
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay.
32:36
[SPEAKER_14]: All right, thank you.
32:37
[SPEAKER_14]: Good afternoon here on the air.
32:40
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes, Mayor, one way the city can save money on the trash.
32:54
[SPEAKER_13]: two men do a truck and the people took advantage of them by, you know, firing up the outside.
33:03
[SPEAKER_13]: Now, where I live, everybody gets through downstairs or two totes, big totes, the lodgewins.
33:11
[SPEAKER_13]: Everything's got to be in their totes.
33:14
[SPEAKER_13]: No more bags in cardboard and everything all over the ground for those guys to pick up.
33:22
[SPEAKER_13]: This operation where I am is a one-man operation.
33:25
[SPEAKER_13]: We've got an wish management.
33:28
[SPEAKER_13]: They've got a new truck with a clam on the side.
33:31
[SPEAKER_13]: And the guy just comes down in front of the adults.
33:37
[SPEAKER_13]: Hydraulics from inside the truck.
33:39
[SPEAKER_13]: The clam raps it, dumps it, next house.
33:43
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, I know.
33:44
[SPEAKER_13]: I know how we're saved money.
33:47
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
33:47
[SPEAKER_13]: Don't have the two guys.
33:49
[SPEAKER_13]: and wasted all that kind of picking up everybody's trash everybody should have a toe and everything should be inside the toe no piles on the ground and so the guys have to pick it up and separate and all that stuff okay I know yeah I would just give everybody a toe so you can what stuff in it not loose trash bags trash in there and pick it up every week if you got more than that you're going to have to take
34:20
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, I don't, it's fairly simply done, but I remember when this new system came out of me I was getting calls here, people want me to, I'm not my job to explain it.
34:35
[SPEAKER_14]: I didn't even ever press release in front of it, so I got me on that one.
34:40
[SPEAKER_14]: All right, listen, we're going to take time out for messages, be right back.

[SPEAKER_14]: Well, there we go.
46:20
[SPEAKER_14]: You know this congressional race where this country in Tino or you hear all the ads and Mr. Smollon.
46:25
[SPEAKER_14]: the assemblyman from John Stown, New York, and the Mohawk Valley.
46:29
[SPEAKER_14]: I see Mr. Smollett is finally started calling for debates, criticizing his opponents saying, my opponent is ducking him.
46:36
[SPEAKER_14]: That's a common tactic, obviously.
46:38
[SPEAKER_14]: If you're perceived, if you don't have any, if you're way behind on the money end of it, and you're looking for publicity, obviously, you want to get what they call earned media a debate and try to,
46:54
[SPEAKER_14]: get some headlines out of that but i don't think you're gonna see no debate nope so and who cares anyway oh i gotta know what to stand on the issues are now you know
47:12
[SPEAKER_14]: You already know who you're going to vote for if you're going to vote.
47:15
[SPEAKER_14]: And most people in a primary don't vote.
47:17
[SPEAKER_14]: So there you go.
47:19
[SPEAKER_14]: But anyway, that debates coming up.
47:21
[SPEAKER_14]: Maybe the media will get in the middle.
47:22
[SPEAKER_14]: They like media likes those kind of demanding debates, type stories, because it makes them feel virtuous.
47:31
[SPEAKER_14]: But really, these debates are just a blue ribbon panel of no-nothing, usually asking questions.
47:38
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh, let's see, what are we going to go on?
47:40
[SPEAKER_14]: Channel 7 reported that City Council is considering sweeping changes.
47:46
[SPEAKER_14]: Sweeping?
47:48
[SPEAKER_14]: No.
47:49
[SPEAKER_14]: To get that proposed budget increase from 11 down to 3.5, whatever, under the cap.
47:54
[SPEAKER_14]: Nothing sweeping has to be done.
47:58
[SPEAKER_14]: Just rearrange some numbers.
48:00
[SPEAKER_14]: And then it kind of committed in the year as a year to come as some vacancies, a curial won't fill them, but you don't even have to let anybody go.
48:08
[SPEAKER_14]: So they don't need sweeping changes.
48:12
[SPEAKER_14]: The only tiny city government made sweeping changes was back in 1989-90.
48:17
[SPEAKER_14]: When Larry Cook was there and they really did some pairing of bodies.
48:24
[SPEAKER_14]: But there's been nothing since then.
48:28
[SPEAKER_14]: And certainly not in other governments locally either.
48:31
[SPEAKER_14]: So it's one of the things about a government job.
48:33
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, you're going to have it.
48:35
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, they're not going to cut it on you.
48:40
[SPEAKER_14]: we shall see we shall see i don't know whether they you know between the zoo and the golf course and the uh... trash collection uh... a lot of big issues out there but don't look for him to get decided soon but after dinner on the air hey chef did you resident one was one was your turn from there from one year to what
49:08
[SPEAKER_14]: I was elected 91 and 95.
49:10
[SPEAKER_14]: I was real.
49:11
[SPEAKER_14]: I did then I was out for four years and I was elected in 0307 and 11.
49:17
[SPEAKER_10]: All right.
49:18
[SPEAKER_10]: I bought my home in the city in 87.
49:22
[SPEAKER_14]: No?
49:23
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, trash pick-up was free.
49:26
[SPEAKER_14]: Right.
49:26
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
49:29
[SPEAKER_10]: Who started charging for the tax or for the trash pick-up?
49:35
[SPEAKER_14]: I think that may have been just before or just after I got there, see what had happened was.
49:44
[SPEAKER_14]: They came up with this regional landfill run by dank the super agency and the E.C.
49:50
[SPEAKER_14]: It ordered the city landfill on water street clothes, so the economics of that whole industry changed.
49:56
[SPEAKER_14]: I would like to see this go back to, it's not really free, I asked you to get paid for, but you know, just put it out and it gets picked up.
50:05
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it wasn't only, uh, free, they did actually come down your driveway by your house.
50:10
[SPEAKER_14]: Hmm?
50:10
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't.
50:11
[SPEAKER_10]: Take the crash back out to the street.
50:13
[SPEAKER_10]: You have to drag it out to the curb.
50:15
[SPEAKER_10]: Back in those days.
50:16
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, they will do that now if you are elderly or disabled.
50:22
[SPEAKER_14]: As I do.
50:23
[SPEAKER_10]: I feel safe.
50:24
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I don't ask a lot for the taxes I pay and I've been in it like I say since 87.
50:30
[SPEAKER_10]: But what are sewer, you pay a fee on, right?
50:33
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
50:35
[SPEAKER_14]: uh... police and fire that's expected i get your point yeah i mean he raised a valid point about trash collection i'm i'm not saying and i'm not saying that every decision you know you make decisions based on the context and the times you're living in an information presented and
50:59
[SPEAKER_14]: right but and i may look at but i may look back at things right sure i may look back at things now and say i would have done that differently or maybe it wasn't the consensus to do it differently at the time there's a lot of things that go into decision making if the to the extent there is any uh... but uh... i'm just saying what i'm looking for out of my taxes is like uh... well then somebody has to say that i want trash police player plow
51:29
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, then, then you like to see recreation out of that.
51:32
[SPEAKER_14]: You've got to get a city council.
51:33
[SPEAKER_10]: Let me start cutting there after that.
51:35
[SPEAKER_14]: I understand that, but then you need a city council that'll just say, this is what we're going to do, but they don't.
51:44
[SPEAKER_14]: They kind of like, well, can we try it?
51:45
[SPEAKER_14]: No, okay, we won't do that and all of that.
51:49
[SPEAKER_14]: So it's very, very tenuous.
51:50
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, you've got to get a more assertive and that's, you know, elected officials.
51:57
[SPEAKER_14]: all they do is get beat up when they are assertive so i should my father they do them you know you think you're doing the right thing getting into elected government it's not like you're in there all i'm gonna get in there and screw this up as much as i can i mean you know you think what you're doing is right you want to represent the people but who's to say what the people want i mean okay well i agree with you on the crash
52:28
[SPEAKER_10]: Please fire, plowing, fixing the streets, and crash pickup, and I paid for water and sewer.
52:38
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
52:41
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, let's start there.
52:42
[SPEAKER_14]: Let's start there.
52:43
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.

53:58
[SPEAKER_18]: Millie, and we'll be back with more in a moment.
54:12
[SPEAKER_19]: Every day, someone walks to the mailbox.
54:15
[SPEAKER_19]: They pause, they sort, they notice.
54:18
[SPEAKER_19]: In a world that moves fast, the mailbox slows things down.
54:22
[SPEAKER_19]: A message in someone's hand feels different.
54:25
[SPEAKER_19]: It's not a swipe, not a scroll, not a distraction.
54:28
[SPEAKER_19]: It's intentional.
54:29
[SPEAKER_19]: When your mail shows up consistently, clearly, thoughtfully, it builds trust when it speaks to the right people.
54:36
[SPEAKER_19]: At the right time, it builds response.
54:39
[SPEAKER_19]: When it works together as a plan,
54:42
[SPEAKER_19]: Mail isn't just paper, it's presence, it's connection, it's opportunity delivered.
54:48
[SPEAKER_19]: At Cofflin we help businesses stop guessing and start mailing with purpose from strategy and design to print and delivery because when your message matters, your mail matters.
54:59
[SPEAKER_19]: Start mailing smarter.

[SPEAKER_19]: Cofflin.
55:09
[SPEAKER_19]: Mail that moves business.
55:11
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, it's Junior Dinkle at FX Capriar Honda in Watertown, and this may FX Honda is turning 10 years old.

56:47
[SPEAKER_18]: W-A-T-N. Watertown.
56:51
[SPEAKER_18]: Depend on it.
56:52
[SPEAKER_14]: The brand-eye, who did that thing in there for her engines?
56:55
[SPEAKER_14]: Or was that AI?
56:56
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, you can't tell these days.
56:58
[SPEAKER_14]: Some of these commercials you hear are the...
57:00
[SPEAKER_14]: The... voices.
57:01
[SPEAKER_14]: They're not just guys with deep voices.
57:03
[SPEAKER_14]: They're... AI voices.
57:05
[SPEAKER_14]: Is that bad?
57:06
[SPEAKER_14]: You tell me.
57:09
[SPEAKER_14]: Now today's weather going to be 71 degrees might already have been there, and then tonight it cools off down to around 40-ish.
57:18
[SPEAKER_14]: Tomorrow, chance of rain high, 48, and then we have, I don't know, temperatures in the 50s.
57:23
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know temperatures in the 50s, I don't know much and a week next week, so I mean, decent weather, not great weather.
57:31
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know what you're looking for, but if you're doing here on the air, hey, Mayor, how are you doing today?
57:39
[SPEAKER_07]: If they call our couple back brought up some interesting points I'm sure you remember back we used to pay for water sewer and garbage all in one shot but somehow when that got split apart things are just kind of gone skewed and you agree yes yes I do I think that would be a good way to kind of go and I wish the city council kind of understood the mathematics behind taxes and how how things are supposed to be done
58:08
[SPEAKER_07]: as a house goes up and value that's how the tax base goes up and value the house doesn't go up and value you don't change the percentage to get more out of the people mm-hmm that doesn't make any sense if you do you're never going to be able to the consumer can never fight inflation well i i watched it for twenty years i mean they they sit there and say uh... the controller
58:31
[SPEAKER_14]: No, Mr. Mills, what would it mean if we cut $7,000 out of it?
58:35
[SPEAKER_14]: We'll do the math, you know, $7,100 of 1%.
58:37
[SPEAKER_07]: Come on, you know, it's not hard to do, and it was- No, and the little pennies that they're tripping over just don't make any sense.
58:48
[SPEAKER_07]: And it makes a nice little seven news so you hear what's going to be happening and you're watching seeing the little, no, that makes no difference.
58:54
[SPEAKER_07]: We shouldn't even be even talking about that.
58:57
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, you know, there's numbers in there for different things that you could just arbitrarily change them just to make the thing which right now up to a point.
59:04
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, obviously it's some point you gotta make sure you have enough to pay people.
59:08
[SPEAKER_14]: But that's a whole idea of fun to balance and everything.
59:11
[SPEAKER_14]: So, yeah.
59:14
[SPEAKER_07]: I think we need some simple accounting going on and we must lack that somewhere.
59:18
[SPEAKER_07]: Speaking of which, when I was at the, uh,
59:20
[SPEAKER_07]: that I got to the day I happened to run into Diamond Dutton.
59:23
[SPEAKER_07]: What a joy it was to see her boy, like her and Mary's from the city.
59:26
[SPEAKER_07]: Didn't it just seem like things went smooth and things were done well?
59:29
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, things were done well then.
59:31
[SPEAKER_14]: I thought it was right.
59:31
[SPEAKER_14]: I thought they broke into a wonderful job.
59:33
[SPEAKER_07]: Here's a little point of interest and I'll let you go.
59:35
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
59:37
[SPEAKER_07]: Can you imagine like listening to Millie every day?
59:40
[SPEAKER_07]: I think she's running a course.
59:41
[SPEAKER_07]: I just, you know, everybody's going to turn off the radio and she comes out.
59:45
[SPEAKER_14]: Okay, all right, listen, I got a run.
59:47
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm out of time.
59:48
[SPEAKER_14]: I'm out of time.
59:49
[SPEAKER_14]: I'm out of time.
59:50
[SPEAKER_14]: Hey, and that's our show for today.

59:52
[SPEAKER_14]: I'll begin at five.
