WBFO Brief Aug. 3, 2021

In today’s WBFO Brief, hear Congressman Brian Higgins on the 2,700 page infrastructure bill that could be headed to the House of Representatives from the Senate — and what it could mean for WNY in terms of lead pipes, broadband internet, brownfield restoration, cars on Main Street, and Skyway replacement roads.

Also hear Governor Cuomo say “Everybody’s talking about a mask policy… I don’t think a mask policy is going to be enough. I think we are going to have to talk about a vaccination policy.” And learn about a new Yale University study that says President Trump’s “Muslim ban” on travel from certain countries led to health effects among the Muslim population months later.

And with an Erie County budget that totals $1.7 billion, hear more about the reported $1.1 billion request that Pegula Sports and Entertainment is floating around Albany as a possible way to build a new football stadium in Orchard Park.
