The Maddy Forum Saturdays at 1:00 PM - rebroadcast Sundays at 11:00 AM
90.7 KFSR and The Kenneth L. Maddy Institute at Fresno State present a new public affairs program - The Maddy Forum. The weekly program features conversations about the important public policy issues facing the San Joaquin Valley, and interviews with local leaders and elected officials. It airs Saturdays at 1:00 PM and Sundays at 11:00 AM. The program is hosted by Mike Lukens, and each program is introduced by Maddy Institute Executive Director Mark Keppler.
The Kenneth L. Maddy Institute at California State University, Fresno was established in 1999 by the California Legislature in honor of State Senator Ken Maddy, whose 28 years of public service demonstrated the successful application of personal integrity, legislative know-how and bipartisanship to the governance of the State of California.
The Maddy Institute mission includes providing non-partisan, interdisciplinary and fact-driven analysis of public policy issues impacting our region and state. The Institute also provides practical training for local officials and civic leaders, fellowships for Fresno State students with local state and federal legislators, as well as symposia and extension courses on a range of topics relating to public policy and public administration.
Rollie Smith of HUD and Preston Prince of the Housing Authorities of the City of County of Fresno join host Mike Lukens to talk about the afforable housing needs of the Valley.
