I was added as a bi-weekly columnist for the Daily News. I got an e-mail asking me to call the Daily News. I was told the guy who is doing it now with the right-leaning tilt is leaving. They are looking for a replacement and I was offered the job. I was told the editorial board met and my name was brought up and kicked around. So I accepted the job. I will not do my final Town Crier columns and I will start with my first column in a week and a half. Then every other Saturday from there on out. I will get paid twenty-five bucks a column. They are going to introduce me in the paper this Saturday. They also put information about me taking over the duties in the newspaper’s blog.<\/p>\n
We\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re welcoming Scotty Anderson to our Opinion pages as he takes over the every other weekend slot opposite Pezeshki. Actually, Scotty\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s arrival to the page isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t entirely new \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s been contributing as a Town Crier for the last couple of years. His tenure as a Crier was coming to a close so we brought him on board with a regular gig after longtime columnist Michael O\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2Neal announced he was done.<\/p>\n
Scotty\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s been a resident of the Palouse since 1992. He works as a software engineer and is a community volunteer who had a radio show until last year. He describes himself as \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201ca workaholic who plays softball to unwind.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/p>\n
On the political spectrum, Scotty says he\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s torn between conservative and libertarian views, which should make for some lively contributions to the Op\/Ed page. <\/p>\n
Scotty\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s first column will run Aug. 8, and I look forward to his contribution to the community discussion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It was a pretty quiet day at the fire department for the most part. We did some more walking tours of the buildings on campus. We ran a couple calls, but nothing after we went to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
