The AFP on WREL: Finality?

Chris Graham

AFP editor Chris Graham talks Virginia news and sports with WREL-1450AM’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”

The segment begins with a look at recent activity in Richmond regarding legislation passed in the 2011 Virginia General Assembly session – specifically looking at Gov. Bob McDonnell’s budget amendment  cutting funding for public broadcasting. Will the governor finally get his way on a long-time political rallying point for conservatives? Chris thinks he just might.

The talk shifts to Jim Webb and his criticisms of the Obama administration for its Libya policies – then wraps with a look at VCU’s chances to bring home a basketball national title in this weekend’s Final Four.
