WBFO Brief June 10, 2021

In today’s WBFO Brief, hear our Thursday visit with former American Medical Association, Dr. Nancy Nielsen MD on COVID, and the “delightful” sight of people doing more things together. The quote of the morning however comes from Niagara Falls Ontario Mayor Jim Diodati who says for tourism industries, the closed U.S./Canadian border is “Like cutting off their oxygen, it’s devastating”.

Meanwhile, hospitality is not the only job concern- we have reports on job seekers in Niagara County, and efforts to battle poverty with some expanded services in southern Erie County.

On the ostensible last day of the legislative session in Albany, reporter Karen DeWitt checks in with what will and won’t be accomplished before they adjourn. And hear from folks gathered not so bright but definitely early to watch the eclipse of the sun from the roof of the Buffalo Museum of Science this morning.
