What was Your Reaction to Presiden't Obama's Speech in Arizona
When President Obama took the podium at Wednesday night's memorial service in Tucson, Ariz., he was greeted with the unbridled excitement of a college campus embracing their commander in chief. Cheers and screams and hoots continued even after he asked for people to sit down. As he started his eulogy, with the somber words, "To the families of those we've lost," voices still cheered and at least three people shouted out, "We love you!"

Who should be responsible for Clearing Snow from Sidewalks?
A recent ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court makes it easier for people injured on snow covered walkways to successfully sue those property owners who don’t clear snow from walking surfaces. Winter is here and so are slippery sidewalks, parking lots and walkways. Previously, Massachusetts courts have ruled that a property owner cannot be held liable if someone is injured walking on new or what courts have called “natural” snow. Instead, owners can be held liable if someone walks over the natural snow and then another person falls down while walking on the same area of snow, called “unnatural” snow by the courts.

We're joined now by the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth in the independent candidate for governor. Tim -- hill how you doing today Tim. Yeah good for your make and all kinds a news tab is just a bit at the wires before you came on. K hill slams carry on both taxpayer -- hill says Rhode Island made bad decision on lowering shelling. And you made actually a policy announcement today when we start with that would would you what did you -- proposed today.
We've proposed big consumer credit protection act. Model out there -- one it would got the Washington State back in 2007. They have what protected to you know protect employees. I'm having their credit determine whether or not they can be hired or fired either in job application -- even encourage our because we we are seeing. And I'm hearing more more about how people are struggling. To keep their credit rating where it is and how it's being used against some. When they -- promotions sometimes internally and mostly what they try to get jobs so we want to level the playing field a little bit. And protect people who struggle expression middle class. Struggling to keep still -- over there you know keep up appearances they get jobs.
So you think that state government should dictate to private companies. Find out what they can use what criteria they can use to win there in the process of hiring an employee.
In this case I do Charlie because it's become. A school or what -- instead of sort of a neat piece of additional information. And I don't think it should be -- it's cool weapons because in many typical -- its financial job are -- working at -- Or you have you know you're -- sensitive information then the more information about it employed about a but it -- I think it's being used as a weapon and make it -- Impeding people's ability to get back into the job market so I -- for protecting the console what. And I honestly believe that there -- credit scores there are getting. I would feel little lot of kids in terms of out of their determining what you can call I. Or you can let you know you can fall behind in the credit card bills and can ruin your philosophy here. I don't find -- people make those judgments when it comes to loaning people money for house so -- but what you ought. We're getting jobs for being tired I think it should not use has -- there.
6172666860. If you wanna talk to the state treasury and independent candidate for governor Tim Kay -- All right so let's go to these stories here. To -- says RI made a bad decision -- Schilling Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate now folks still no curt Schilling's. Company he has a yacht company that does video games right yes and Rhode Island offered him. 875. Million dollar loan guarantee. If he would move his company crossed the border to Rhode Island than it looks like he's gonna do it along with I don't know how many employees he has. But across the border to Rhode Island. Can you say you would never do that for a company you wouldn't take 75 million dollars of the taxpayers' money -- money to anyone.
Not not not especially not startup company. That has you know made a good chance of succeeding and I would Curt Schilling politics that. But I think we well I'm sort of the -- the limit up long guaranteed and grant the companies like everything so I'm not. Of the opinion that government should pick when there's a little bit when it comes to businesses. And business shouldn't try to hold up state. Fourth city and targeting some benefits I mean what is it a good thing. But what are -- picking it company over another company as opposed to spreading code got there it. -- the mass majority people I think it's mistake for government to play that. That's below and like if I wish Kirk well he could break negotiator and any data for the Red Sox got a great contract ever thought. Any got a great feel out what Alabama I'm glad we did not chase him -- one because of -- do -- We were involved what I was in the city equate do we get loan guarantees this city -- interstate federal government to wait ship builder. A great ship -- back in the eighties.
Oh did -- old shipyard backed up and running. And it would be complete failure right to the money right -- with the money we never start it was guaranteed he got all the alone so. I would be very Crockett but would start a company I think that the private sector jobs to put the bat those small startup companies like are hurt. -- we wish you well north island. And but I would not have that in that respect it was a mistake put out there.
Okay then K hill slams carry on both tax state treasury ten K hill slammed the seafaring Senator John Kerry over is. -- tax brouhaha. I'd like that word brouhaha and said the State's department of revenue should be collecting on the delinquent senator. It looks to me like he's avoiding taxes by registering you Rhode Island K hill said. I don't think the state should treat anyone differently senators congressmen -- regular people. So someone's not paying their taxes that -- should be paying them than the DOR should go after them said Cahill who's running for governor as an independent. If he's not paying his taxes he should be paying them here in the state. Very very good I like that mr. treasure up.
Yeah I mean I just think it came honest by the press conference the minute -- the EO our decision to do that they are overseen by the governor's -- I don't oversee them. But I do believe that someone else got this or try to avoid paying taxes. And and that the deal our job to find out if they are. If if they all gonna fail what they should street mystic created quite like every taxpaying citizen out Massachusetts then. You don't get the money.
War -- think the chances that our good friend Governor Deval Patrick is on the phone as we speak. Calling the head of the department of revenue sank. I want you to get every cent dot of that John Kerry and make sure you crack down and let's get an investigation going.
Well I I think it's it to divert slammed that the governor may have but he should be because if it would -- private business. -- private wealthy individual. -- wasn't the democratic senator from Massachusetts they would be going up from the no question in my in my. I aired on businesses every day about how the deal RAI thought they ought to work with. And now -- out on fitness friendly they are. So I if that's the way to gonna be a lot that's where we should be what everybody that people gonna treat everyone that way beat up on back there is that we should be up on the senator's well.
To give time thinkable phone calls. I know I know you're giving a speech that you're moving back in moving back forth and we appreciate that. Holds on with Steve let's go do -- in -- Eddie you're on with ten K -- the treasury in Massachusetts in the independent candidate for governor.
Love it Mikhail. IN EW. Good I would like accurate question would you be willing to take the pledge. Not to hire any. Family relative to the state payroll unless of course they were honest civil service list. If you are elected governor to. You capital. Yes I I just -- used to be straightforward and honest video ready and everyone else I have my sister -- has been worked for me at treasury. So we got blood relative but he is. Related in through marriage debate on the port city for eight years you -- qualified but. And and he does work for me now without a lot governor and a half years. Other then it com there is no relative of mine and that I know what I certainly haven't hired any relative luck or otherwise. To any job that I overseas or out anyone else to do it. In any. You know any other state agencies so -- I wanna be straight with you -- out I don't expect -- nor would I hire anyone else. I'm in I've never hiding blood relative of -- any Bob that I bet any oversight up. Okay thank you okay.
Alright that's okay. Yes sure let's go to Brian in Quincy around with Tim Kay hill how you doing Brian.
And -- this particular call. You know I love everything you say and I just don't get why you not get traction out there and when your daughter did the temperatures -- thing. Well here is independent candidate you are trader who's done a great job and I really think should be pushing that the current treasurer for governor. Well we were we think we will be rusty we will be and and I appreciate you saying that and I think we will get track our numbers are going up. Despite the fact -- well being attacked by the Republican Governors Association. And I'm very positive about the future. I'm proud of what I've done except that there -- properly put out stand behind everything I've done. And stretch your book the good can come to think -- have worked out well and I think people judge it on our record all of our record. -- you know going back when we first started working. So why can't he do data and I want people to know. Apparently butted up this year are -- it very well the fiscal year in world building schools everywhere site that people can't afford. And I think it'd be good record and I could help it be able to duplicate replicate that other state government. Got to come up without a stand before we well.
Thanks -- for the call yeah we're looking at the new Rasmussen poll just came and I guess last evening and we had Scott Rasmussen on today. And back in May Tim was at 14%. In the June polling was at sixteen -- now on July 8 at seventeen the only one who's gone up all three months. In the polling and you did spend a significant amount on television ads did you we hope to be a little better than seventeen.
Know what we're really looking at the base numbers we we would just open -- moving in the right direction. It to be able to respond to somebody -- inaccuracies in the negativity that was put forth by the Republicans so I did we accomplish what we need to accomplish. I honestly believe at least if you know this is if you can trust that the feeling I'm getting out there are -- seventeen mark in a very much in this race. -- starting you know of people response and perception and reaction from you in the -- But it was just sort of I'm not oh wait for me to reintroduce myself. Let people know where I'm coming from as opposed to -- laying -- people think in nothing but negative -- Or reacting only to what they -- the Republicans felt that you are set on the only one it's gone out and that's death. Despite being outspent I would say. Or -- Over the last three months so I take -- tickets you bought that record that we are real which got away and expect.
