First hour: Proposal pushes for tougher parole standards
Second hour: "Finger Lakin' Good" and trademark law
Local police chiefs have been pushing for tougher parole standards, and this year, they might finally get what they want. The chiefs point to a number of high-profile crimes committed by parolees as evidence that the system is either too lenient or has too many holes. They'll detail the changes they want. In studio:
- Dan Varrenti, Brockport Police Chief and president of the Monroe County Chiefs of Police Association
- Jim VanBrederode, Gates Police Chief
- Mark Assini, Gates Town Supervisor
"Finger Lakin' Good?" Yes, that's the name for a new resort near Canandaigua Lake chosen by local businessman Brian Mastrosimone. But Kentucky Fried Chicken is suing to block the name, saying it infringes on their popular slogan, "Finger lickin' good." Mastrosimone says this is a case of corporate bullying. KFC says they wish him well, but he can't rip off its brand. Who's right? KFC provided a statement to WXXI. Our guests:
- Brian Mastrosimone, owner of businesses under the umbrella name of “Finger Lakin’ Good”
- Kristen Mollnow Walsh, partner at Nixon Peabody LLC
