The Rick Smith Show

Greg Sampson: Each school needs to make its own decisions as conditions vary wildly from room to room, building to building. The inspections need to be done & each room evaluated independently.

Dan Mauer: Let's take advantage of every process we can. If we can get the PRO Act passed as part of the budget process, let's do it.

Scott Paul: If we continue to do nothing, it will cost every American household about $3000/hr for repairs, etc., if we don't work on fixing our infrastructure.

Rep. Francesca Hong: The constituents we've spoken with are quite hopeful & want to use this legislation as a tool to work with in their communities. Advancing this type of agenda only works w/ an inside/outside strategy.

Timothy Sheard: Take creative writing classes, join community writing courses. You need to have feedback from teachers & others. Keep a small notebook with you to jot down ideas, bits of dialogue you hear, & pretty soon you'll have a book.

John F. Murphy: We've been fighting, with some success, in CA against the misclassification of workers. Uber & Lyft spent millions & millions of dollars fighting back so they could continue misclassifying their workers.

Mike Williams: Our democracy is in peril; GA decided to roll back voting rights today. We need democracy reforms. BlueGreen Alliance is non-partisan but we endorsed our first candidate last year, & it was Joe Biden.

Larry Krasner: A lot of people who become chief prosecutors are ambitious & think ahead to becoming a governor or a rep. They become friendly with rich people who are themselves often bosses.

@DA_LarryKrasner

Bob Ney: The use of public figures is allowed under free speech, so the RNC is going to use Trump's name. Trump's probably looking for some revenue for the use of his name.

Bob Ney: In 1992, I believe it was, & then after 9/11, we had the War Powers Act, & it's been debated ever since. That should be shut down. It wasn't meant to be an open issue all this time. There's a bipartisan move in Senate to reverse it.
