THE SPECTATOR: KEEP DAN, & TERM LIMITS NEEDED
Sometimes it’s nice to know that people are listening to your radio station and reading your website. We certainly found that out this week by taking a poll of our listeners about whether they wanted to continue hearing “The Dan Bongino Show” on KWHI. Almost 500 people took the time to vote, with an overwhelming 76% saying “yes, keep Dan”. Over 130 people took the time to comment on our website or Facebook page with almost 100% in favor of keeping the show. To top it off, Dan Bongino himself mentioned KWHI and our poll on his Monday show. Don’t ever doubt that the internet is a powerful thing! So for all of you Dan Bongino fans out there, don’t worry….his show is not going off of KWHI. You can stop calling now.
On another subject, early voting in the upcoming March 5th Primary Elections begins next week. There are many important races on the ballot in Washington and surrounding counties, so I encourage you to take the time to vote. On the State level, I’m not a fan of what our Governor is doing in several races. During the multiple special sessions of the Texas Legislature, Governor Abbott threatened state representatives and senators that he would work to defeat them if they didn’t vote for his school voucher program. Sure enough, Abbott has been using his own campaign funds to buy ads in favor of their opponents. Some members just chose not to run again, and I can’t say I blame them. Abbott is overstepping his bounds by acting like a dictator, instead of a governor. The real shame is that he withheld badly needed funding for our public schools in his failed attempts to pass a voucher program. Our schools, who were held for ransom by the Governor, are now suffering the consequences. This is a prime example of why there should be term limits at all levels of government. Too many people make a career out of holding office. I believe it’s way past time for others to have the opportunity to try to make a difference. In some cases, they probably couldn’t do any worse than the incumbent.
And that’s the way it looks to this Spectator.
