Wboi Presents

WBOI’s Zach Bernard moderated a town hall at the end of 2021. Bob Haddad's senior government class at New Tech Academy participated in the event featuring local and state representatives. Zach Bernard has provided guidance to students on how to ask questions effectively the last four years. Since 2021 was an "off" year for Indiana elections, it was decided to forego the typical debate format in lieu of a town hall recorded on Friday, December 10. Participating representatives include, in the order by which they were seated: Republican county councilman Richard Beck Republican state representative Matt Lehman Democratic state representative Phil GiaQuinta Democratic Fort Wayne city council member Sharon Tucker Republican Fort Wayne city Council member Tom Freistroffer Fort Wayne deputy mayor Karl Bandemer (BAN-deh-mer) Our music is by Mark Waldick, Noah Campodonico, Kurt Roembke, and Hope Arthur.
