On Real News with Rick Outzen this Morning at 7:10 AM

I was invited to appear on the area's #1 Morning Drive News/Talk program--"Real News with Rick Outzen on 1370 WCOA.  Hear the podcast in this post.

 I was invited to participate on the Pensacola area's best and highest rated morning drive news program, 1370 WCOA's "Real News with Rick Outzen," and I just completed my interview on the show.

(I am fortunate to have the day off of work, in observance of the nation's Juneteenth holiday.)

Host Rick Outzen asked that I come on the show to recap last Thursday's BCC meeting--and we discussed the highlights from last week's meeting, including: the board's decision on the best way forward for fire funding, Florida West's Triumph Gulf Coast ask to fund 122 new area jobs at average salaries in the mid 50K yearly range, the Beulah Master plan, EMS's $12.2 Million tech-refresh contract with Stryker Sales, and the potential to create a full-service health clinic at Pine Forest High School in conjunction with Community Health Northwest (similar to what was done at C.A. Weis Elementary School), as well as the county's coup in realizing nearly a $1 Million Dollar profit while purchasing 18 new dump trucks.

It was a good conversation, very informative.  I appreciate Rick having me on the show.

Once the podcast is published, I will link it here.

How’s ol’ Wes doing on obtaining $ from the infrastructure bill for the broadband strategy instead of using ARP funds?
