12:00 A day in the life of your local official
1:00 Fairport focuses on a walkable, diverse village
What does your elected official do all day? We usually hear about our state lawmakers when there’s a big vote or controversy. This hour, guest host Veronica Volk is going behind the scenes with two Assemblymembers – a Republican and a Democrat – to hear how they spend their time, what constituents don’t see, and how they work across party lines.
In studio:
- Assemblymember Jen Lunsford, District 135
- Assemblymember Josh Jensen, District 134
Then in our second hour, a rebroadcast of one of our favorite conversations. Fairport has been growing — welcoming new businesses that mix with a range of housing designed for all ages. We talk about the vision of making a truly walkable, bikeable village with a diverse range of options for people who live nearby.
Our guests:
- Julie Domaratz, mayor of the village of Fairport
- Bryan White, manager of the village of Fairport and general manager of electric operations for Fairport Municipal Commission
