First hour: The latest on the controversy surrounding Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley
Second hour: BID opponents on next steps
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley is facing increasing scrutiny after refusing to pull over for a police officer, and then berating and cursing out the officer for doing his job. After the incident, Doorley issued a statement that was contradicted by police body-worn camera footage. On Monday morning, she released a video apologizing for her behavior and saying she will turn the incident over to a district attorney in another community for review. She also said she will undergo ethics training. Our guests discuss the latest details; the legal ethics; and the public implications when a district attorney mocks the idea that she would be able to be prosecuted for breaking the law. Our guests:
- Gino Fanelli, investigations/City Hall reporter for WXXI News
- Richard Dollinger, former judge and state senator
- Marv Stepherson, retired police sergeant and adjunct professor
- Ben Wittwer, deputy executive director of the Rochester Police Accountability Board
Then in our second hour, a coalition of business owners, lawmakers, activists, and citizens has been celebrating the demise of the recent downtown Rochester BID proposal. BID stands for Business Improvement District. Now that the BID is dead, what does the coalition want to see happen? They explain. Our guests:
- Kim Smith, member of Rochester City Council
- Jackie McGriff, filmmaker, community advocate, and member of the BID Education Committee
- Kelly Cheatle, artist, community organizer, and member of the BID Education Committee
