Coming up on Connections: Tuesday, August 25th

First hour: Jamie Romeo, new Democratic party chair

Second hour: City chickens

The Democrats have a new local leader. Can she pull the party out of its electoral funk? Jamie Romeo is 30 years old, and pushed hard for the job. She's worked on a number of campaigns. But right now, her party isn't even running a campaign for District Attorney, and its candidate for county executive was soundly defeated last time. Romeo sits down with us to talk about how to unify Democrats and finally wins some races.

In our second hour: Are those chickens in your neighbor's backyard? Are they allowed to do that? The answer is, probably, sure they are. And that surprises some Rochester and suburban residents, who are seeing more chicken coops around town. Why the surge in interest? And how many eggs do those things produce, anyway? In studio are our chicken-owning experts:
