First hour: Discussing Rochester City Council's draft legislation for a police accountability board
Second hour: How to combat climate change through policy and individual actions
Police accountability has been a subject of conversation in the Rochester community for several decades, with one of the main questions being, ‘should law enforcement have a role in deciding how police officers are disciplined?’ In recent weeks, City Hall and City Council have released proposals for police accountability boards. In our first of several upcoming conversations on this subject, we sit down with members of City Council, who will discuss their draft legislation and their priorities. We also hear from members of the Police Accountability Board Alliance. In studio:
- Loretta Scott, president of Rochester City Council
- Adam McFadden, vice president of Rochester City Council
- Willie Joe Lightfoot, member of Rochester City Council
- Pastor Wanda Wilson, member of the executive committee for the Police Accountability Board Alliance
- Ted Forsyth, member of the executive committee for the Police Accountability Board Alliance
- Tim Macaluso, news staff writer for City Newspaper
Then in our section hour, when it comes to fighting climate change, there tends to be two schools of thought. One says that it’s all about personal responsibility, and acting every day in a way that is sustainable. The other says it’s mostly about policy, especially on the federal level. Our guests believe the two camps are related, and they try to live every hour in a way that is sensitive to our changing climate. So what does that look like? What changes might they inspire in others? Our guests:
- Enid Cardinal, senior sustainability advisor to the president at RIT
- Kimie Romeo, activist and recent environmental sustainability award winner
