Rotunda #128 11/6/2017 - Like his Cleveland Browns, Scott Rotondo is on a bye week. So filling in for him is WBOB senior editor and host of the Cobblestone Press Kevin Aherne. Of course the big headline in the news was the Church Shooting on Sunday in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Kevin breaks that down on as well as the repercussions from it, including the ever so fun 2nd amendment debate that is going on and why politicians are dragging their feet on it.
Joining Kevin are a couple of special guests in this episode. First is Tyler Salk, host of Psycho Sports, to discuss sports from a political aspect. The two discuss a couple of hot topics such as why the NFL ratings have been declining (kneeling during the anthem, an over saturated), what can MLB do to bring in more viewers, and much more. Then later on, Kevin is joined by Aaron Regunberg, RI Representative (D) from District 4 and candidate for Lt. Governor. Aaron and Kevin talk about a bill that Aaron will be introducing that will lessen the utilities power grip that National Grid has on the state of RI, what was the inspiration behind the bill, and what it could mean for Rhode Islanders going forward. Aaron also talks about his candidacy for Lt. Governor for Rhode Island, including what he will do when elected, his plans to help Rhode Island, and much more. Tune in and listen
