*Media Alert* Talkback show 1450 AM WCTC Monday 4/17 8 AM
Jack Ellery, the host of the Talkback radio show, has become more vocal in his opposition to this project the more he learns about it. Mr. Ellery had Mayor Levine as a guest on Talkback the week of Apr 3; then Mr. Ellery interviewed Shirley Eberle on Talkback on Apr 12 along with Mayor Levine. Rickey Sumter also called in.
A number of other callers from different towns chimed in -- bashing both Ellen Ritchie and Bill Grippo. Later, Mr. Ellery heard from Ellen Ritchie and Ms. Ritchie agreed to be on Monday (4/17) morning's show. Mr. Ellery is outraged at the plan to add so many homes and a Home Depot on roads that "can't fit another Volkswagen." He was dumbfounded by Ms. Eberle and Mr. Sumter, and Mr. Ellery stated he was glad he didn't live in Franklin any more if it was run by people like that. Time to change the game from “Bash the Mayor” to “Bash the Council.” Call in and voice your opinion!
