Who is Ray Bayar's and why does he want Limbaugh off KNCO?

Russ Steele

In a Letter to the Editor Ray Bayers, the President of the Clean Power Cooperative of Nevada County, is sponsoring an e-mail campaign requesting KNCO remove Rush Limbaugh from the morning schedule. 

I invite you to join me in a move to bring back a balanced perspective to local radio. Rush Limbaugh has become so shrill, hateful and almost maniacal in his rhetoric against the president that even the Republican Party is wishing he would go away.

KNCO can do better and Nevada County would benefit from a more open/even approach to national events coverage. In addition, we would all benefit from an increased focus on local events.

If you agree, please contact Bob Breck: bob@knco.com to request a host that presents a more balanced perspective.

So what do we know about Mr Bayers' who seems to have a disregard for Rush Limbaugh and his right to free speech. According to the Clean Power Cooperative's  web site:

He is interest in the environment and healthy living.

He enjoys volunteering for organizations that can make a positive difference.

He tutors for the Literacy Council and assists with trails programs for the Nevada County Land Trust.

He enjoys home projects, gardening, yoga and hiking and is a big fan of NPR

He is an Electrical Engineer with experience in the video industry.

If Ray Bayars is a big fan of NPR why is he listening to Rush Limbaugh?   If he is an electrical engineer he should be more than capable of finding the tuning knob on his radio, and failing that the off switch, or pull the battery out, or the plug from the wall. 

I do not listen to Rush that much, but if you are fan, I suggest sending an e-mail to Bob Beck at: bob@knco.com an request he keep Rush in the KNCO schedule.
