“If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to suppress it!”

I was flattered to be asked to guest co-host, with Egberto Willies, Geoff Berg’s show, Partisan Gridlock.  Geoff does a great show, and it obviously took two of us to try to replace him. Egberto and I had a great time, and we hope we’ll be invited back when needed.

SHOW AUDIO: kpft_2014-09-17_2200 CULTURE & DISCIPLINE, ELECTION INFO, DONALD HONIG’S PHOTO, THEY UNDERSTAND, BANANAS

[NOTE: This show was a total surprise to me and shows how live talk can sometimes become soothing other than what the host expected. I was expecting talk of elections, right-wing politics and liberal protests, my search for a baseball photo, maybe the 100 Year Star Ship Symposium, and the environmental risks of Agribusiness’s love affair with monoculture and the end of bananas as we know them. Instead, it turned into a discussion of Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, discipline vs. abuse/assault, and the connections of those things to race, culture, and history. It was a fascinating discussion which provoked a lot of thought and some future research. – Mike]

TOPIC: The Impact of Deepwater Horizon/BP’s Oil Spill 3 years on (June 24, 2013)

For the past two months, it’s been the 3rd anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon/BP Oil Spill. It started on April 20, 2010, and flowed for 87 days until it was capped on 15 July 2010. So we’ll be ‘celebrating’ the anniversary of this massive spill for about another month.

Texas was fortunate in not being impacted by this disaster as directly as the other Gulf States, but the Gulf of Mexico is an environmental and ecological system, so no part of it is totally unaffected by events taking place elsewhere. Also, the Texas part of the Gulf Coast has been experiencing its own problems and environmental degradation over the past decades.

So 3 years later, what’s the story? What’s being done, who’s paying for it, and what are the long-term plans?

My guest today is Bob Stokes, President of the Galveston Bay Foundation. The Galveston Bay Foundation’s mission is to preserve, protect, and enhance the natural resources of Galveston Bay and its tributaries.  It has programs in advocacy, conservation, education, and research.  Bob served on the board of the Foundation for five years, including a 2-year stint as Board Chair, prior to taking over as Foundation President.

Bob is a graduate of Yale University and the UT School of Law.  In both private practice and as a lawyer working for the Harris County Attorney’s Office, Bob has been involved in environmental law related to civil and administrative matters. In his County Attorney practice, he has gone before the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality both opposing and pursuing state environmental permits.

In 2011, Bob Stokes was awarded the “Environmental Professional of the Year” award by the Texas Association of Environmental Professionals.
