Straight Talk #17

In City Times Straight Talk with panelists: Jack Hoffman, Ron Madnick, Peter Stefan, Marilyn Namy, Rosalie Tirella 1. General Motors files for bankruptcy - The taxpayers of America now own a good chunk of GM. Has Obama done the right thing by taking over the iconic US automaker? 2. The murder of doctor who performs late-term asbortions. Seems he may have been egged on by FOX News and the Bill O'Reilly gang. 3. Worcester and the Asian long-horned Beetle. Seems we may have spread it to campgrounds in New Hampshire. Did we infest all of New England with our beetle-infested kindlin' wood? 4. Save the Poolz is upset with city officials. They felt city of Worcester blew them and their ideas (to open all the city pools) when city officials pretty much said no pools will be open. City Manager Mike O'Brien unveiled the city's plan to work with nonprofit agencies (The Boys Club, etc) to transport city kids to these agencies' pools. 5. Does Mike O'Brien listen to neighborhood activists?
