Coming up on Connections: Wednesday, June 24

First hour: Discussing issues at the polls on Primary Day

Second hour: Local servers on the scene at restaurants that have reopened

During Tuesday's primary, WXXI News heard from voters across Monroe County about issues at the polls: they expressed confusion over polling locations changing, multiple ballots, challenges with technology, and more. Some candidates have shared concerns about possible voter suppression. So what happened? This hour, our guests talk about what they saw on Primary Day, and what needs to change heading into November's election. We hear from local voters as well. Our guests:

  • Dana Cieslinski, site chair
  • Anthony Plonczynski, co-founder of La Cumbre
  • Assemblymember Harry Bronson, candidate seeking re-election for the 138th Assembly District seat

Then in our second hour, we talk with local servers about their experiences with restaurants reopening. Many establishments opened for outdoor seating in Phase 2, and now, in Phase 3, customers are also back to dining indoors. What are the safety guidelines for customers and for staff? Are people following those rules? Our guests share their experiences and observations:

  • Ian Criticos, server and wine director at AVVINO
  • Aimee Rock, manager of Union Tavern
