First hour: Implementing the Affordable Care Act

Second hour: Bicycles as vehicles for freight transport?

In our first hour: Implementing the Affordable Care Act. The League of Women Voters is hosting a Monday night public forum on this issue, but first, the panelists join me in studio. We're talking about all things ACA. In studio:
 

Sarah Liebschutz, Professor Emerita, SUNY, Brockport and LWV-RMA member
Bryan Hetherington of Empire Justice Center;
Kim Wynn of Coordinated Care Services;
Christine Wagner of St. Joseph’s Neighborhood Center

Then, in our second hour, we discuss Power to the Pedals. Bicycling as a vehicle for new economic development. How can it work? We'll learn the story of Wenzday Jane, who heads an urban movement to replace trucks with cargo bicycles for local delivery, municipal waste-hauling for the city of Cambridge, and agricultural distribution. She’s creating a more sustainable future by helping others discover the power of the pedal. Her story is told in a film that will run Monday night at the Little Theatre. First, she's on Connections with a panel talking about the film, and how Rochester can adopt her model.

In studio:

Wenzday Jane, founder of Metro Pedal Power
Bob Nesson, Filmmaker and educator
Scott Wagner, coordinator of the Rochester Bicycle Film Festival
