team twenty one when your mother met your father they were living at what address thirteen jefferson thirteenth and jefferson yeah number and up til beginning of world war two city gary ended forty fifth avenue but there was a gap between forty fifth and fifty third were the city limits are right now and after world war two everything exploded south that includes haman going with talk about not just building company maintenance costs for all this stuff after it's done well i got a question subsidize train george what's your opinion i mean is government around here so an efficient use of taxpayer dollars and trying to do what's best to improve it in today's world or is an employment agency well i mean i'm a keynesian robert reich in that regard i believe and then that that that government i believe in the government stimulus type of thing i don't i that would watch how far into deficit spending that would go basis so that's how i look at and i could be wrong i'm stating that it's absolutely think well i mean you know i use the analogy and of course it's theory so there's always you know an example either way but i mean if i have a bunch of people that are shoveling the street but they're all using spade you know spades instead of a plow and there's twenty of them out there with the wrong equipment and they're all working hard that's good right they're all working hard but is that the most the third world i agree same thing with the c e o s i mean i have a real challenge i mean it has to do with you know your definition and that's what makes talk radio so you know interesting because you know flip side of it is like reasonable you know everybody's want to be reasonable but what's your definition of reasonable again that under the circumstances right that's a situation like hey i'm going to move on get each other's phone number go to mark on line three hey mark good morning you know i'm not morning could have got through the snow that way what did see i'm thursday no no no don't stop stop right now because i knew that someone was going to call in and quite frankly i could if i could a picture to be in you because yeah because you're consistent all right did a good job on sunday morning i went out to check it and drove up and down forty one and took pictures of it now if they did a bad job i would tell you that but i can't take away from the good job in the mana plows in the amount of salt that they had out on saturday night overnight because forty one was the best plowed road in the region on sunday morning that is a that's how i see it was thirty degrees thirty two degrees and the salt worked at twenty eight thirty thirty two degrees you know and it was only introduced oh let's see what they do wednesday or thursday and then i'll be right i'll be high five and saying that they do a good job ok now listen here let's look at this is that you know what good does a local live radio do and what good does local politicians complaining about something do well bu came on the air here and call them out and i put it on the internet a bunch of people watch or listen to it and same thing gets law and bernie zemin and george f all these guys are calling them on evidently they sent him a letter and so forth  responds and says all right maybe you guys are right we didn't have enough people out and you know they never say it because in dots like this you know organization you like pay no attention to the man behind the curtain they don't yeah but you could see it in their actions they responded ok that's the part that i'm talking mine now you say and let's see what they do on tuesday wednesday and thursday i don't see any reason to slow down the pressure on in dot to make sure that our roads are call and he never really blows up to local radio here on am twelve thirty w j o b m d lo he's bill baker hanging out here on m l k day i would do before we move on to the next phone call which would be so south kone joe i would like to read governor mike pen statement on martin luther king day governor mike pence today we honor dr martin luther king jr a great american leader whose persistence and courage changed our nation dr king's efforts to peacefully advocate for justice for african americans changed the course of american history and inspire us still today dr king's commitment to all mankind stands as a wonderful example of how every hoosier should serve their community on this important day i people across our state to seek out ways to be servant leaders in their own communities to keep dr king's legacy alive and i think that's pretty well put by one of his staffers knowing you but anyways it is martin luther king day and we can address it to i mean where you know what that speech though jimi i mean let's face it when you know what you and i we were born in the early sixty's and we known each other since we were seven so you know we're products of the same you know time in history and what not and we went through high school didn't talk much about what happened in the sixty's because it was so fresh i mean it was only ten years prior that you know none of that stuff made history class at the time but all the people that were leadership of the community at that time  including the schools were all you know the ones standing in front of us and telling us what to do and i think you know the sixty's the eighty's the two thousand it's like almost like every other decade is a real period of  change in what's going on and you know i don't want to take two seconds because because i mailed a day and there's a lot of things from that i have a dream speech that are you know touched people in different ways but the one that one statement out of that speech that i thought was cool and you can download this from the national archives he said i have a dream that one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will all not be judged by the color of the skin but by the content of their character i have a dream and i go in knowing that one kind of rings home because it's the golden rule and treat others like you want to be treated and you know i think every once in a while it should be every day but you know if you're going to have a day like this those are the types of things that take a couple of minutes out of your day and kind of see how it applies to what you do and how you handle county joe how are you buddy good morning jim good morning baker i've got i've got a couple things for you guys couple things clarified things on the communities were maintained route six and not you know joe and that makes sense to me and then you know i was out here last last week or whenever it was talking about you know the boulevard and these other roads and and you should hear the people you know after that show call and tell me you can't do stuff like that that's not going to work i mean i disagree i think if you can do that with other things in the region you should be able to take care of those primary roads that everybody that lives here in crom point on two thirty one just a little bit east of route sixty five they kind of serve mainly south county unit number two is in miller on route twenty kind of kind of route route twenty in  unit three and four are together they are on fifteenth avenue incline avenue and gary right now we're out of those units each truck has its own plow those plows are twelve feet wide forty two inches high about twenty five hundred pounds past say in a in a four five and snow after four or five and snow event there probably eight to ten plows damage not really imagine that blues or we had almost two weeks ago with that fifteen eighteen inches around here once a plow gets busted up at the end they all get repaired at that unit two in route twenty in the area there at one time they just had kind of one skilled guy that would repair plows i could see that if they had a bunch of plows dammed up and there's only one guy capable of working on the air in the snow piles and other things and storms trucks go down truck stop running electrical problems i could see why i mean today people thought there wasn't very many trucks out following because i'm sure most of the followers are broken down wait wait a minute i mean i understand the story line but if all of a sudden you have you know thirty percent of your plows done and forty percent of your trucks don't you think you're going to outsource and try to bring some that's exactly the same thing jerry shoop was a big push for trast ethanol and i don't want to say the guy's last name but jerry to his campaign manager randy big union guy in lake county was pushing for that that's all that is unions pushing for this stuff and they don't care taxpayer be damned if it's going to work or not like with the trusts ethanol that's all it is that's just make work you hit it right on the head exactly told the truth this morning thanks a lot south county j
