The owners are two guys that have a hold on the listeners and the local and State Politicians.<br />Mike Richards and Dan Patrick. Mike Richards is a former State of Texas Senator.<br />He was one of the talk show host for a while. He said on several occasions, after a call or monologue, that is how it is done- in committee meetings. He was always giving insight as to the goings on of the legislative process. Some of which is the taking the teeth out of a bill by interjecting an amendment; or in this case a political deal. Draining the energy out of the Democrats, seems to be the goal of the NRA. The Bill was pulled by the Speaker, due to lack of votes. Mission Accomplished!<br />By the way- Dan Patrick, the other owner, is now a Sitting Texas State Senator. He is also the 4pm-6pm talk show host; giving the day to day goings on from his Office in Austin.<br />One day, before Dan was elected, Mike and Dan interviewed the Governor, Rick Perry, on the Radio; both asking questions about a issue of the current events of that time. After the interview, Mike said, that is a special hour, you all have just been in on a legislative (mock) Meeting with the Governor, to determine how you would vote- after hearing the Governors side of the issue.<br />So, don't always judge a news story about the goings on of some rumored issue.TS/WShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02294584351677488365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673430048533997811.post-21329121785708452982010-06-21T06:53:52.836-05:002010-06-21T06:53:52.836-05:00I was very disappointed in the NRA.
