Radio observations of a sample of nearby BL Lacs

We present a new sample of 30 nearby (z < 0.2) BL Lacs, selected to study the nuclear as well as the large scale properties of low power radio sources. New VLA and VLBA radio data have been obtained to discuss the morphology, physical properties, and overall properties of the sample. We show that the distributions of total radio power and intrinsic core radio power for BL Lacs are consistent with their being drawn from the same population as FR I radio galaxies.
