Fly on the Wall: Democrats running for County Board

Why do Democrat County Board candidates refuse to talk with Steve Suess on his Sunday show (Cities 92.9)?

Chris Koos: Desperato

By: Diane Benjamin Remember the Eagles song Desperato? That should be the Chris Koos theme song.

UPDATE #2: Looks like a revolt at ISU – an illegal revolt!

Kalter was defeated, those in attendance rejected her agenda, at least that’s what I hear! _____________ An email I received from Academic Senate Chair Susan Kalter: The Dr of (I believe) English is WRONG.  She called the meeting, therefore it is subject to the Open Meetings Act.  This is no different than Koos inviting 2 […]
