Q DOUG: You called Lawmakers IRRESPONSIBLE -that the state's ability to do Economic forecasts has been COMPROMISED. What did you mean by that? Q CHARLIE: Governor says his numbers reflect historic trends. Called his budget "responsible and lean". Is it?

Any Indication of what might be restored FIRST. ** Q How difficult will it be to RESTORE Spending without TAX hikes? Q CHARLIE: How much sway do these emotional stories have on lawmakers finanical decisions?? Parents tearfully asking for help with disabled children.

Thursday, March 31, 2005: We started just before 5:15pm. We had one false start. then started again. We had to fix a key for one of our guests during the show that was misspelled. He had checked it before the show but didn't catch the error. We corrected it and used that one throughout the rest of the interview. Everything went smoothly. We finished just after 5:45pm. Director's Log: Slate wasn't made on time. Need to make sure ADs start doing that early so we don't have to wait. Camera 3 person was not paying attention. Shots were too loose or not following. Light on DSK cut 1 out. Told John, he will take care of it. Carl checked for audio on vtr machines before show which is good in case there is a problem. Jay changed light # 22 in studio B. Hockey light is still up but not that big of deal. All else looked great! |
