The making of another Radio Queen
Mayor Dan Rivera sponsors a radio program “Information from City Hall” on Wednesdays from 2 to 3 PM, hosted by Wendy Luzón. I listen to it because this is a show about nothing and in order to critique it, I have to go through the pain of listening. If you want information about what’s going on in the city, you won’t find it there. Her voice is to soft, hardly understood and she usually forget to open the microphones. What a disaster!
At times, I feel that she’s reading from Rumbo’s calendar pages. Every community event sponsored by other organizations gets promotion time there. This past Wednesday she was lauding an organization called “Sanandome” that does wonderful work among the poor in the Dominican Republic. The doctor who’s the head of the organization travels through the United States raising funds bringing hospital equipment and health care to people in need. Very worthy indeed.
But tell me what that has to do with the city or City Hall?
Then, I thought there’s hope for Wendy after all. She had as guests Pat Ruiz, Director of Inspectional Services and Jorge De Jesus, Building Inspector. That’s the type of information City Hall should be providing to the community. I had both of them on CrossOver a couple of Saturdays ago and perhaps she is learning from me. By the way, she called Mr. Ruiz “Commissioner”. After one year and one-half at the mayor’s office she should meet the real Commissioner, Peter Blanchette.
What a waste of taxpayer’s monies. Whether the city is paying for the air time or the mayor’s campaign, it was contributed by people.
