WBFO Brief Aug. 9, 2021

In today’s WBFO Brief, we have a lot to share about Gov. Cuomo. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul has begun making calls to colleagues about a transition should the governor resign. They also have the latest on the resignation of top Cuomo Aide Melissa DeRosa, and WSJ Reporter Jimmy Vielkind talks about both today. Also, today, Albany Correspondent Karen DeWitt has more from the accusers, and Prof. Peter Galie, a Canisius College Professor Emeritus who is seen as the expert on the state constitution weighs in.

Beyond that, hear about the re-opening of the Canadian border to US travelers, learn about the region’s first LGBTQ History marker in Buffalo, and get the latest on a push to change organ donation preferences on your NYS driver’s license.
