First hour: Co-op economy
Second hour: Indiana's new law
In our first hour, Rochester city leaders want to launch new worker-owned businesses in some of the poorest neighborhoods. Their goal is to create reliable jobs, and to eventually build wealth where there currently is none. It's an idea that has shown some promise in other cities. We'll learn more about how it could work in Rochester. In studio:
Michael Healy, CDS Consulting Co-op
Larry Filipski, Chief Financial Officer, Once Again Nut Butter
Jim DeLuca, General Manager, Abundance Cooperative Market
Then, in our second hour, we're looking at Indiana's controversial new law and all that comes with it. The state of New York and the city of Rochester have banned all nonessential travel to Indiana. We'll talk about the law, what it means, and what comes next.
