Equal air time?

Zane Seipler got his 55 minutes of fame this morning on HarvardRadio.now, and it seems that Keith Nygren will be Dave's guest on the Morning Buzz.

The station's website shows that Nygren will be interviewed on Monday, January 25, at 8:05AM.

Gee, won't he be late for work?

I would assume that work hours for administrators at the sheriff's department ought to be 8:00AM-5:00PM, with an hour for lunch. If Keith is in Harvard from 8:05-9:00AM, will he get docked for $145 for the two hours of work he'll miss? Could any other employee take time off on short notice for a non-emergency?

Maybe getting on the radio a week before a primary election is an emergency for Nygren!

Does his radio appearance constitute political activity on County time?

Zane's campaign continues to gather steam. Zane has run a grass-roots campaign, and his momentum is quite likely to result in a Massachusetts-style victory. What an accomplishment!
