First hour: Democrats from the Monroe County Legislature discuss county business
Second hour: Local "protectors" discuss the protests at Standing Rock
Last week we sat down with Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo; today we sit down with two of the leading Democrats from the Monroe County Legislature. Cindy Kaleh and Jim Sheppard will discuss a range of issues related to county business: the budget; the recent hiring of a new leader for COMIDA; and more.
Then in our second hour, a number of people from the Rochester area have traveled to Standing Rock to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline. On Sunday, the Army Corps of Engineers said it will not approve an easement that would allow the pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. President-elect Trump supports the pipeline project and says he will reexamine it after his inauguration. Local "protectors" join us to share share their feelings about what lies ahead. Our guests:
- Luc Watelet
- Lisa Giudici
- Isabelle Bartter
