Interview with Bob Gammage-Audio

I got a chance to sit down with Bob Gammage at the University of Texas
Pan American in Edinburg. He had a few moments to share his views with
me regarding a couple issues that affect the Rio Grande Valley and the
state of Texas as a whole.

The audio captures Gammage but not me as I was not planning on doing
an interview. Here are the questions I asked:

So, I was asking you earlier, why did you decide to run for governor?

Do you have any plans for the RGV when you become governor?

What do you see as far as your role as far as violence on the border
goes.

Do you have a good relationship with Republicans in Congress?

I meant like in the Texas Legislature.

Do you have any plans or initiatives planned for when you become
governor?

What kind of changes will you be making in healthcare?

In Hidalgo county or along the border, tuberculosis is a big
healthcare problem. The county has had a shortage. Does the state help
counties with indigent healthcare?

I appreciate your time.

I finally finished editing the interview for clarity. I also put in an intro and an end. In order to keep the download small, I opted out of putting in music. If you listened to the previous audio in which you can't really hear my questions, I cut out those parts and re-recorded them in the SpinRGV studio (a room in my apartment). With a little splicing, I was able to make the interview sound better.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally. Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north. Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain. This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings. Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
