Mayor Ashley Swearengin called in after hearing the president's speech on immigration in person in Las Vegas [LISTEN HERE].
She sounded like a true politician on the issue. I still look forward to more conversation with our mayor.

Once again, the listeners called into the show en masse. People had varied opinions on how changing policies will effect the ag industry, social services and taxes.
My take: we need to secure the borders first.

Pete Mehas, the former Fresno County education superintendent, came in the studio. He is also on the local advisory committee to select a new president at Fresno State. Pete mentioned how important it is that a president gets the local community. A president from Chico may not be the right fit in San Francisco. Pete says they are using a search firm. There are many applicants. He notes that the people applying for the positions are getting younger. He hopes to have a new president in by June. |

You can listen to the Super Bowl, right here on Power Talk 96.7. The game is at 3:30 p.m., pre-game starting at 2. To help us get in the mood, former 49er LB Milt McColl joined the show. McColl played for the 49ers 1981-87 (and the Raiders in 1987). He was on the sideline next to Bill Walsh during The Catch.
He still follows the team, as the 49ers have a great alumni organization, according to Milt. After his career, Milt went back to school to earn his medical degree. In addition to practicing medicine, he is involved in business with medical start up companies.
