Be Careful When You Call a Radio Show - Someone Might Hear

Thursday March 20, 2008
Yes: someone might hear - and your voice might be recognized. According to theglobeandmail.com: "An adviser to Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien resigned Wednesday after he used a fake name when he called a local talk radio show to defend an unpopular snow removal tax proposed by O'Brien. David Gibbons was the mayor's community liaison officer and special assistant until it was discovered that he called a CFRA talk show and identified himself as 'Tom.'"
