WBFO Brief- Bonus Material- Byron Brown roundtable

In a special weekend bonus edition of the WBFO Brief, mayoral candidate Byron Brown answers questions from seven WBFO reporters in one of our two hourlong election specials. The reporters asked questions about both candidates' approach to improving the lives of people with disabilities and about issues of equity when it comes to race and gender. They asked about Buffalo's economy and businesses, the health and wellness of our city’s people, and the growing population of older adults.
