Texarkana town hall meeting on energy with Mike Ross

About 45 showed for a town hall meeting on the American Made Energy Act of 2008 legislation sponsored by Congressman Ross here this afternoon. The congressman fielded questions on all sorts of issues, mainly on (1) energy policy, (2) the proposed coal-fired power plant in Hempstead County, and (3) our (in)ability to watch the Razorbacks here in the Shreveport media market. Having the ability to import TV station signals from adjacent DMAs (Nielsen Designated Market Areas) is big bizness down here. Although the discussion was geared towards energy, I was still surprised that there were no questions on illegal immigration, the economy, or the war.
