Political Quotes

“When a weather emergency strikes, local radio and television stations play an instrumental role in keeping families informed on vital warnings and emergency response efforts. A little over 1 year ago, the city of Joplin, Missouri, was changed forever when an EF 5 tornado struck. Local radio stations like KZRG, the Zimmer Radio Group, Community Radio Group, and KDMO provided Joplin residents with critical information as it was happening. After the tornado, they helped families locate their loved ones and provided information on where they could seek shelter and food. Local stations are a tremendous asset to their communities, especially during weather emergencies. These stations keep their communities informed on the latest weather conditions and provide support after the storms pass. I want to thank all of the local radio and TV stations across the country, especially those in the Joplin area, for the great public service they provide their communities before, during, and after these weather emergencies. ____________________”
