We've been hearing a lot about presidential politics and Congressional races in Northeast Ohio. But there are a number of issues on local ballots that don't get quite as much attention. We aim to change that Tuesday on The Sound of Ideas as we discuss schools taxes in Akron and Tallmadge, a plea for more money to fund Lake County Metroparks and a proposal to fund more sheriff's deputies to patrol Lorain County townships. Join host Mike McIntyre Tuesday morning at 9:00.

Talking Politics and Keeping Your Friends

Posted October 11, 2012
Topics: Community/Human Interest, Government/Politics, Elections

To bring up politics is to risk stepping on the third rail of American relationships. But there's a way to talk politics without starting world war three. It's a fact that most of us feel talking politics is best left to the pundits. But how can we not talk about something so important? And how can we talk politics with friends and still have friends? Thursday on The Sound of Ideas we'll talk with experts who have ideas on how to detoxify our political discussions and keep our personal relationships intact. Join host Mike McIntyre at 9:00 a.m. on 90.3.
