A couple ways to deal with this seem easy enough.  One is, do a two or
three part series.  One with the proponents and one with opponents and
and optional one giving an objective view and evaluation of the two.
I see this as the best option and those that see all three parts will
have a good idea of what its all about plus it will get some
attention.

As far as RadioWest, does that mean that we shouldn't at least
approach Doug Fabrizio about it?  What if he's never heard about this
issue?
