This Week with Sylvia Garcia

20/12/2011

"This Week with Sylvia Garcia" is coming to an end on Tuesday mornings on www.uctcradio.com. Our host, UCTCRadio, has decided to close shop at the end of the year and we will be looking for a new home.

This last year we have covered it all- from fights at City Hall to the state’s redistricting mess to the deficit battles in Washington, and with a little “chisme” in between. I am truly proud of w...hat we have done, and I thank you for it, esp Ana Hernandez Luna, Armando L. Walle, Congressman Green , Stace Medellín and Charles Kuffner.

Thank you so much taking the time to listen to the show. I’ll miss the show and I will miss you. Blessings during this Christmas season and the many more to come.

With the City elections behind us, it is now time to focus on some of the issues facing our City and Region. Foremost on many minds is public employee pensions. A target in some states, the City named a task force months ago and it has been hearing from a variety of folks on this issue. Others have written about it in Chron and on blogs. We start our focus with a visit with all three employee unions- HOPE, Police and Fire. We’ll see where that will take us. It’s a complex issue for some but a very simple one for others- promises made, promises kept. Tune in tomorrow at 10am for more, www.uctcradio.com
