This week's political winners and losers

| 2 Comments

Bill and I were pretty grouchy on this week's Boren/McEwen political podcast, and we couldn't even come up with a political winner. We are a cynical pair. But we had several losers and you can listen to our reasoning by clicking here to listen to this week's podcast.

Bill narrowed down his loser of the week to Congressman George Radanovich, the Mariposa Republican, for being a do-nothing lawmaker during his seven terms in Congress. My losers this week were local legislators who have done little to get a state budget resolved. That group includes Republicans Dave Cogdill, Mike Villines, Bill Maze and Democrats Juan Arambula, Nicole Parra and Dean Florez.

The other topics in this week's podcast are the Fresno mayor's race and Mayor Alan Autry's latest protest over the lack of legislative action on getting the water crisis solved.

I saw Rep. Radanavich on "Valley Talk" recently and to his credit and my surprise, he has really honed his public speaking skills...

I guess if you're going to be a career politician, you'd better learn the trade.
