04-17-18 Political Roundtable
Part 1: Ray has David Jones, Rich Cebra, Gordon Draper and Debi Davis start the discussion talking about Ben Franklin. He died on this day and Ray started the discussion about how he and his fellow colonists did what they did. Rich states that there is no room for a honest discussion on any point. (This segment doesn’t have an audio file due to technical difficulties.)
Part 2: The panel discuss the Marijuana laws. Rich believes that medical and recreational should be kept separate. If you want to carry a firearm, it is illegal to have marijuana and a gun.
Part 3: Rich talks about state sovereignty. Ray had talked about the wheat commerce decision and expands on it. Taxes in our country is killing everything that the American can Dream.
Part 4: The Panel takes a call and they discuss excise tax. There is another call. Bill from Casco, who says that they need to stay the course up in Augusta and try to keep the liberal lefties at bay.
Part 5: Assistant Minority House Leader Ellie Espling calls in to let us know what is happening in Augusta. Ray asks her whether it will be necessary to extend the sessions. Ellie talks about the priority of bills. Ray brings us LD745, Female Genitalia Mutilation bill, and what she thinks will happen with that bill. Ray asks what can the people do to help get this bill passes in the strongest form. Ellie and Rich both say call your Representative and make your voice heard.
Part 6: The boys talk touch on Ranked Choice Voting and how it is going to end up in court no matter who wins.
Part 7: Ray talks about Chuck Todd’s statement about Fox’s Shawn Hannity. Chuck Todd is a fake journalist. He claims to be a journalist, but you know exactly what his opinion is on every subject. Shawn is an editorial talk show host. They talk about Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace, and Tim Russert. Ray asks Rich about tax conformity, will it happen? Hand Sanitizer is a big topic.
Part 8: Ray reminds everybody about the Republican Debate next week. David and Ray talk about taxes and how they are so out of control. Our infrastructure is horrible for the taxes that we pay.
