WBFO Brief June 22, 2021

In today’s WBFO Brief, a look at spending in Buffalo’s Mayoral race on this primary day, and how it’s been 50 years since an incumbent lost the seat. Reporter Nick Lippa is out at the polls as Republicans and Democrats select a candidate for Sheriff, and Democrats select a mayoral candidate in the City Of Buffalo, where no Republican opponent is on the November ballot.

Correspondent Dan Karpenchuk takes a look at some easing of quarantine restrictions on the U.S- Canadian border for vaccinated people.

Also, a rising rate of unemployment for disabled people in Western New York- is disproportional to the rest of the population, and a look at how COVID and socialization issues have affected our pets.
