[grc] How many stations associated with this list have a newscast? Or plan to?

[Ann Garrison]

That sounds great.  I believe that our Pacifica NewsUp! idea is to make
news of more than local interest available to stations who want to put
together a newscast that combines local, national and international news.
I believe that you have to become a Pacifica affiliate to have access to
Audioport, but if you want to do that, you need to contact Ursula or Greta
about the cost; I believe that it's sliding scale, depending on the size of
your station and its audience, but I'm not sure.

Greta Anderson's story on the Louisiana run-off elections held last
Saturday were terrific.  This is a perfect example of a state story with
national implications. The Senate run-off elected the Republican,
maintaining the Senate balance of 52 Republicans to 48 Democrats. In the
House run-off Clay Higgins beat Scott Angelle for the state's Third
District House Seat. Higgins is a NOLA police captain most famous for this
video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1lc7i7BaG8&feature=share>.  San
Angelle is paid $45,000 to sit on a state commission that regulates
pipeline construction and $380,000/yr. to serve on the Board of Directors
of Sunoco Logistics, the subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners which is
about to take over its parent. Sunoco Logistics and Energy Transfer
Partners are the two corporations whose pipeline has been stopped at
Standing Rock. They hope to get past the water protectors and run it all
the way down through Louisiana to the Gulf.
