Call-In Program to Discuss the Economy
May 2, 2008
Monday May 12 at Noon
In the last year the price of milk has increased 80 cents, while the cost of a gallon of gasoline has increased $1.10. Yet according to UTEP economics professor Dr. Tom Fullerton, pay raises have occurred only in higher income households. That is not good news for the more than 200,000 people who lived in poverty last year.
Join us Monday at noon as we visit with Dr. Fullerton and Congressman Sylvestre Reyes to discuss the economy and its impact on El Paso.
