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…

The running of two more City Council candidates on the People's Slate, political coalition with Democratic Socialist leanings which previously propped up Stanley Martin and Kim Smith, could initiate a leftward shift for Council. wxxinews.org/2023-06-13/peop…

My husband just joined the world of Twitter and immediately used it to support me and our shared values. I'm pretty lucky. ❤️ Give him a follow! #relationshipgoals #politicalhusband #loveyou
Rochester has problems. We need people that have proven they'll stand against bureaucratic mediocrity and follow through on their values. @marylupienroc #roc #

How could you do this to your constitutents, who are hurt FAR, FAR WORSE by these loans than others? How could you do this to @TheDemocrats? How could you do this to 44 million people of all colors, creeds, political persuasions? Please explain.

HEALTHCARE QUANDARY: Benefits for teachers + other NYC employees imperiled as Mayor Adams threatens a new $1500/yr premium unless unions agree to shift retirees into Medicare Advantage. @UFT asks City Council to intervene yet still opposes NY Health Act…
I am shocked and sorely disappointed at the email we just received. @UFT on health care--If We Don't Surrender, We Will Lose. nyceducator.com/2022/10/uft-…

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/

If you’re a teacher, read this. If you’re NOT a teacher, read this twice.
I've had a bunch of close friends leave teaching and start working in the private sector. Without fail, every single one of them says they are less stressed, their work/life balance is better, and their mental health is better, even though some are making less money. 1/

Building offshore wind in Lake Ontario is a huge opportunity for Rochester's economic growth & to mitigate effects of climate change. Turbine manufacturing could make #roc a hub, able to ship parts all across the Great Lakes region which has the capacity to power 80% of the US!

Hi @BurgessOwens: Utah is trapped by over $10 Billion in federal student debt. THIS IS YOUR BASE. Not Conservative. Will you join @mattgaetz @HawleyMO @GrothmanforWI & fight to return bankruptcy rights to this debt? #S2598 @Deseret @SLTribPolitics thefederalist.com/2022/08/31…
