WBFO Brief June 16, 2021

On today's WBFO Brief, the vast majority of COVID restrictions have been lifted across New York now that the state has reached a 70% first-dose vaccination rate. But while some in government are celebrating, others are asking questions about the necessity of Governor Cuomo's continued emergency powers. We also look at how various agencies are trying to overcome the impacts of the pandemic, from elder abuse, to art institutions, and what to do with federal stimulus money for education. And WBFO Canada Correspondent Dan Karpenchuk reports on the Ontario government's plan to launch a $10 million investigation into the deaths and burials of native children at residential schools in the province.
