Ed Rynders represents District 152 in the Georgia State House of Representatives. He's no stranger to WALG as one of the former hosts of "The Front Page" which aired on this very radio station until 1998. Ed joined us on the air to talk about Gerogia politics and to (hopefully) legitimize "Wake Up Albany" somehow. Matt Patrick will let you know how that plan worked out once the ratings are released.
