Hacking for Votes
A city government employee developed a computer program that let him rig a radio station's online poll in favor of the mayor, who is seeking re-election Tuesday.

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's administration said the employee, who works in the city's computer department, would not be disciplined.

"As far as I'm concerned, it was all in good fun," the mayor said. Ravenstahl spokeswoman Alecia Sirk said there were no grounds for discipline because the employee rigged the poll on his own time.

Renda Rumors Just That
Rumors reported last week about Renda Broadcasting's WJAS and WPTT are not true. WJAS recently hired a consultant to freshen up the sound. At WPTT there are no plans to change the format at this time.
