Show-Me Institute Interview on KY3 in Springfield

State and Local Government |
By David Stokes | Read Time 1 minute

The release of our most recent study, about transportation in MIssouri, was accompanied by a very successful media tour through southwest Missouri. Please check out this interview on KY3 NBC. We also did an interview with KSPR ABC in Springfield, but can’t find a link to it on the station’s website. 

We also did some great radio shows, and we’d like to thank Mark Kinsley and Kara Marxer at AM 1310 KZRG in Joplin for having me on his show along with Len Gilroy from Reason, and Dan Vaughn of KWTO 560 AM in Springfield for hosting us as well. We had an enjoyable, full-hour discussion with Mark and Kara on KZRG. To the many callers we had on KWTO with great questions: Thank you for your calls. To the couple of callers who accused us, more or less, of being part of a conspiracy to destroy our borders and create a North American Union: You are insane.

Finally, we were able to meet with some newspaper editors about the study, including Tony Messenger of the Springfield News-Leader, and we aprpeciated all of their time.
