b"We're hearing a lot from our politicians who are mentioning free stuff for everyone a lot. People are listening but not questioning a lot of what politicians say and this can be a problem, free things don't just appear and cutting expenses isn't as easy as politicians make it sound. Where should our minds be when listening to our politicians?-Hamilton has some unusual by-laws that govern our parks but the question has to be asked, why do some of these ridiculous by-laws exist? Is there a logical answer or could there possibly be some goofy story that sparked Hamilton city council to put these by-laws in place?\\n\\nGuest: Kara Bunn, Parks & Recreation Manager for the City of Hamilton-When there's a mother who tazes her teenage son to wake him up, someone rents their house only to have the whole thing turned into an adult film set and someone puts the wrong address for an estate sale, that can only mean one thing, Ben's Story of the Day! Which story will he choose? Which story is your story of the day?-Augusta National Golf Course is a name that any golf fan knows and knows well. Nearly every fan of golf would love to just go and see someone play golf at Augusta but can only dream of playing on the course.
