In today’s WBFO Brief, hear more about NYS Sen. Brian Benjamin, who is Gov. Kathy Hochul’s apparent Lt. Gov. pick expected to be announced this afternoon. Capitol Pressroom host David Lombardo predicted the choice on Twitter last week and talks about what the new Lt.Gov. means politically.

With an eye on the return to school and masking rules, WBFO’s Emyle Watkins talks with the Buffalo Schools Chief Medical officer to get advice for parents of children with disabilities.

As a shortened season winds down, WBFO’s Mike Desmond takes a look at how Chautauqua Institution has adapted to COVID.

We have business coverage too- with a look at a job fair at the Delavan Grider Community center and a push to get people hired before federal subsidies evaporate. And also, hear from nurses at Catholic Health who are raising safety concerns as their contract talks move forward.
