Scoop: The Rochester City Council is poised to fund a study which will look into the possible creation of a public utility. The bill won't be introduced in the budget, but a statement of necessity, a standalone bill which almost guarantees its passage. wxxinews.org/2023-06-20/city…

Lifting the cap would have disastrous consequences for our public schools. This is upsetting.

We don’t need any more charters. Their enrollment is down, while they don’t face the same financial crisis as our public schools. We need to ensure we have fully funded PUBLIC schools. Point Blank. Thank you, @SenatorRJackson for always leading the way!

I am struggling with what it says about our community that a police chief fired over his actions regarding Daniel Prude has a plausible shot to go to Congress. This is the independent report requested by City Council. Please read it, and read it again. ecbawm.com/wp-content/upload…

For non-teaching friends who don't understand why teaching is so stressful, imagine this scenario. You have to run meetings all day long. You get virtually no time to prepare for the meetings. During the meetings, there are 30 people in the room who are forced to be there. 2/
