Candidate Ross back on the air; foes miffed
By Warren Cornwall Seattle Times Eastside bureau
Talk-show host Dave Ross, fresh on the congressional-campaign trail, yesterday returned to the airwaves and defended his decision to remain on his midmorning radio talk show at KIRO (710 AM).
Ross' decision to keep his job has drawn criticism from opponents who charge that his campaign will benefit from hours of radio exposure that other candidates can't afford.

Several opponents questioned whether Ross' arrangement is legal or fair.
