The Big Guns are Fired Up and Pointing at Maggie Brooks
Hat tip to Exile on RochesterTurning.com for this piece of news. Here at DFE, attribution is important:
A coalition of NYSUT local unions is fighting a Monroe County plan to strip up to $29 million in county aid from school districts. “If this ill-conceived plan goes forward, our students will be short-changed,” said Beverly Engel, president of the Monroe County Federation of Teachers.
This is not good news for local Republican Legislators eager to win reelection. Not good news at all, because local teachers and schools might not have the money to put this issue out there along side the evening news, but you can bet NYSUT does. This issue will likely be front-and-center for the forseeable future unless the Repubs cave.
I for one am utterly heartbroken by this development. . . . /snark

Rochester radio landscape now without Bud Lowell
[caption id="attachment_51" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Bud Lowell at the controls"]
[/caption]
Bud Lowell's last WXXI radio piece has the same qualities that I've always looked forward to hearing from him. The seven minute piece about Hickey Freeman skillfully integrates ambient audio, the voices of people not frequently heard on corporate radio and Bud's narration. Like so many of Bud's pieces the story doesn't just inform. The listener is left feeling richer . . . More. . . ||
