I was the MC tonight at Susan Fisher‘s Cinco de Mayo celebration. It was a wonderful gathering.
There are very few politicians that I really get excited about. Susan Fisher is one of that select few. She works for us and not herself or special interests.
Although I will have the whole show up on my blog soon, I wanted to post my interview with Rep. Susan Fisher. She has done a great job representing North Asheville. We talk about the budget woes. We talk about alternatives to cutting services. We also discuss some the bills that she has introduced in the House. We talk about a bill called “Healthy Youth” which is an excellent bill on accurate sex education. This is an excellent interview. Enjoy.
You can contact Susan Fisher through her web site at www.electsusanfisher.com or through her legislative office in Raleigh.
Today’s Roundup comes from the Political Animal. Foolishly, I’m trying to get some of my work done. I’m happy to say that I have Representative Susan Fisher on my show this week. We will be talking about the North Carolina state budget and several of her other initiatives. I will also have Angela Kelly from the Center for American Progress. We will discuss comprehensive immigration reform.

The Securities and Exchange Commission said Thursday afternoon that its case also accused Mr. Mozilo of illegal insider trading.”
