A Different Slant 113: Local Governments Fiddle While…
Host John Flavin doesn’t think it is too much to ask for local governments to show taxpayers all the obligations they will need to pay one year, three years and five years from now. Such costs are currently either so foggy or not detailed that no one has a clear picture of what the costs will be. John says this has to stop and explains why and what to do in his broadcast. Your ability to afford to stay in Southern Marin could be in the balance.

The Last Dance 001: New Show!
The Last Dance premiers this Saturday, April 27, 2013, at 10am and 6pm. It is the creation of Marin County native Dizzy Jones who delights in melding modern style with traditional taste. Listeners will enjoy music from such artists as Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong as well as today’s hottest local groups like Slim Jenkins and Stompy Jones.
The Last Dance is something totally new on the radio. A tantalizing blend of sultry swing, moody blues, and modern soul, the show also spotlights local events and offers advice on style, love, and life in general. Anything having to do with vibrant living and vintage sensibility is fair game.
Jones is making her radio debut with The Last Dance. A classically trained actor, Dizzy Jones also has a background in musical theatre and dramatic literature. She has been the featured actor in local productions receiving rave reviews for her work (“Stunningly beautiful and superbly confident” — Marin IJ). Ms. Jones promises, “I’ve got lots of ideas, and I can’t wait to get started. I think people are really going to enjoy The Last Dance.”
