WBFO Brief Aug. 13, 2021

On today’s WBFO Brief— If it’s Friday, it’s Theater Talk- and today Anthony and Peter talk of our theater-going incoming governor Kathy Hochul and how the sexual harassment and abuse of power issues that brought her to power are not unfamiliar on Broadway and in movies. Also Msgr. David LiPuma unveils the upcoming centennial celebration at Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna and we have an extended report on cervical cancer screening among under-insured women of color.

Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes weighs in against impeaching Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Tom Dinki reports on a senior housing project in Buffalo, that has been labeled “Gentrification done right”.

Also, Census data shows Erie county is growing and becoming more diverse—but today hear from a UB professor Henry Louis Taylor who says the systems of power aren’t changing even though the population is. And Niagara County is starting to look at the numbers before they redraw legislative districts.
