First hour: Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn
Second hour: Group strives to "save Parcel 5"
Patrick O'Flynn is running for another term as Monroe County Sheriff. He's being challenged by Todd Baxter, the former Greece Police Chief and former executive director for the Veterans Outreach Center. We had the opportunity to sit down with Baxter several weeks ago; this is our chance to hear directly from the sheriff, who believes his record will enable him to win another shift in the office.
In our second hour, a growing grassroots group is focused on disproving what we've been hearing about Rochester's so-called "Parcel 5:" that it's a done deal, and a performing arts center is the future of the site. These organizers have put together demonstrations, artistic protests, and more to bring attention to the site. They say that the city has made a decision that is not inclusive, and they're determined to remind everyone that there's still time to change course. But what would be a better fit? Who would run it? How would they ensure the site is available for everyone? Our guests:
- Ray Ray Mitrano, local social practice artist
- Heidi Riegel, Americorps member serving at Foodlink
- Kelly Cheatle, artistic director of Airigami
