EXCLUSIVE: Supervisor Rich Russell says Canandaigua, Ontario County can attract young families
Today we continue our series previewing local elections across the Finger Lakes by talking with one of the candidates running for Canandaigua City Supervisor. While most city-bound elected offices involve representing City Council, Canandaigua and Geneva’s city supervisors have a different responsibility: Representing voters on the County’s Board of Supervisors. Rich Russell has been serving on that body for nearly a decade-and-a-half, and says it can play a vital role in making life better for everyone living in Ontario County. He joined us in-studio to discuss his campaign and some of the biggest issues facing Canandaigua residents in his wards, as well as the county-at-large.
Wayne deputies secure new contract after two years amid recruiting challenges
After nearly two years of discussions, road patrol deputies at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office have reached an agreement on a new contract. The Wayne County Board of Supervisors approved a four-year deal with the Teamsters union, which represents 68 deputies. This move comes after the union previously rejected an earlier proposal and had been operating without a fresh contract for almost two years.
EXCLUSIVE: Wil Wolf talks about opportunities to attract young people as tourism economy grows in Geneva
Today we continue our series previewing local elections across the Finger Lakes by talking with one of the candidates running for Geneva City Council. Wil Wolf moved to Geneva a little more than a decade ago, and sees a lot of opportunities for a city that has struggled to modernize within economic development, infrastructure, and how its services operate. He sat down with us to discuss his campaign for Ward 5 city councilor, and some of his goals if elected in November.
