Looking day in store for us, but a very different feel to today is compared to recent days. Highs today only reaching into the near 60 and lower 60s range. For tonight, expect mainly clear skies and a cold night, in fact a frost advisory for the southern tier. Looks like Lowe's near Rochester will be down to fairly close to 40 as he head a little more to the south. Some of the valleys will drop down into the 30s. And for tomorrow. Once again, back into some sunshine, at least a few more thin clouds arriving tomorrow, with highs then in the upper 60s to near 70. From the 13 Wham Weather Authority, I'm meteorologist Marty Snyder. On Rochester's news weather and traffic station. News Radio, Web 1180. Right now downtown, we've got sunny skies and 51 degrees.

A parent to man charged with assault after allegedly beating two construction workers with a blunt object. Deputies say 26-year-old John Woods, a cause to the men yesterday morning in a parking lot on Highgate Trail. Woods and one of the victims were taken to the hospital. Woods has since been released, and the victim expected to recover. The Greece man accused of nearly running over two Greece police officers.

Wallace allegedly spent away from officers in a stolen car on Monday afternoon. And at one point, police say hit a cruiser and a guardrail. Wallace then ditched the car near Britain Road in Sterling Square and was caught while trying to run away. He faces a number of charges, including attempted aggravated assault on a police officer and reckless endangerment. Another court hearing today for all seven people arrested in the death of Sam Nordquist. The defendants face first degree murder and other charges. The prosecution is looking to get DNA samples from all of them.

The transgender man's body was found in a field in Yates County back in February. Plenty of people filling city council chambers to spied out against Nysake and RG&E's proposed raid hikes. RG&E wants a 22% increase for gas and a 26% increase for electric. While Nysak wants a 33% hike in natural gas and 24% hike in electric rates. So many people showed up in opposition and hearings on the plan yesterday that that first hearing lasted nearly three hours. We had frequent shutoffs in both summer and winter. The struggles. that our community is facing the years of abuse. The state decision is months away. The federal government is partially shut down after lawmakers failed to come to an agreement on how to fund it. CBS News correspondent Jesse Mitchell has details. A shutdown could lead to the furlough and firing of a large number of federal workers. There are some deemed essential that will still work unpaid, such as active duty U.S. military service members, law enforcement agents, air traffic controllers, TSA officers, border patrol and immigration enforcement agents, and customs officers. officers.

A recent analysis by E.Y. Parthenon found that the shutdown could cost the government $7 billion per week. A research at Washington State University may have found a way to ease the effects of alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Researchers focused on the part of the brain called the cerebellum where they tested the physical and emotional stress of withdrawal systems that often cause people to resume drinking. They said they were able to ease the effects by using a synthetic material developed in Austria called Compound 6, which charges a receptor in the salarbellum. News Radio Whamble 1180 time is now 805. Thanks for listening to the more. Morning News. And here he is. Bob Lonsbury on News Radio Wham, 1180. Great work, gentlemen, like always. Good morning, Rochester. That hearing yesterday you saw in the news, people talking about the proposed rate hike for RG&E. A lot of people wearing masks. A lot of people available during the middle of the day. A lot of people subsequently went out in front of City Hall and protested about how the government ought to take over electricity. I'm not exactly sure how insightful. or representative, those people were yesterday. And I just want to reiterate a point we discussed previously. And I'm not some shill for RG&E or anything else like that. But the fact is that that company is pressed by the state with state mandates to significantly expand. its capacity to transmit electricity. Now, where that electricity comes from, that still got to be worked out. But we are in a state where our energy use has apparently been decided by the state government is the state government's business. And as you know, commencing January 1st, no more houses can be built that are plumber hooked up to natural gas nine years from now. The sale of internal combustion engine automobiles in New York State will be forbidden. We are in a world where they are pushing us all onto electricity. It turns out it's a little more complex than plugging into the outlet in the wall. Getting electricity, whatever it's a point of origin, to your house or mine, takes a lot of equipment. When and if RG&E and its sister companies can buy that equipment is kind of determined by how much money the Public Service Commission allows it to raise from us. These expanded expenses are not brought about by corporate greed or anything of that sort. They're brought about by these New York State Government mandates. And listen, you may think it's a good idea or a bad idea. And whatever opinion you come up with, that's good for you. I'm happy for you. And we can have that conversation someday if you'd like. But the bottom line here is, of course, that the power company is not the entity that is driving this increase in costs. The policies of this state are what are driving these increases in costs. When you insist on outlawing affordable means of generating electricity,

When you insist that other parts of our energy needs, which are currently met by, you know, gasoline and natural gas, as you insist, they increasingly be met by electricity. Have to plug in your car. You can't cook your food with natural gas anymore. Can't heat your house with natural gas anymore. Those mandates from the state capital require a whole lot more electricity. And building the infrastructure to transmit that electricity is why delivery fees at RG&E are going up some $220 million. Again, I am no fan of RG&E per se or of its parent company Iberdola. I have nothing against them. I do note that we have electricity and natural gas at our house because of their expertise. We happily pay our bill. I don't have any problem with them. But I'm not their spokesman or their cheerleader. They are kind of caught between us and the state. And the state is playing the game of blaming them because they're a corporation. They're making a profit. They're evil. And yesterday you had members of city council out there singing that song. You had the same crowd of mask wearing angry socialists out there calling for this. You and I are getting hosed. I think we are paying a lot more money than we need to. both in the cost of our electricity and in the cost of its delivery. And it's just, I think, important to recognize that just like with the cost of our natural gas and the cost of its delivery, these heightened prices are driven by specific government policies of the state of New York. Elections have consequences. And you know what? That's great. Choose whoever you want. But the policies of the different parties are different. And the energy policies of the Democratic Party in the state of New York, where they are imposed without question or recourse, are driving energy prices and energy delivery prices through the roof. That's where this comes from. If you are upset by this, that is where you're upset ought to be directed. It's time for trafficking weather on the tens on News Radio, Wham 1180.

Yesterday we talked about a driver's license, which was picked up by authorities in Oklahoma over the weekend, picked up in the possession of an illegal alien. It was a driver's license, specifically a commercial driver's license issued by the state of New York. And it was an official license. It had the picture. It had the seal. Had the everything else you can put in there. But where the name was, it said in capital letters, no name given. The state of New York issued to an illegal alien, a commercial driver's license, the license necessary to take an 18-wheeler out on the throughway and drive it inches away from your family minivan. The state of New York gave that illegal alien, the CDL, with no name given as the official name. Well, here's the deal. And that, again, issued by our state, as Oklahoma went through all the paperwork associated with, they did like a trucking enforcement over the weekend on Interstate 40, they and their highway patrol. And they were looking to see, hold it, how many illegal aliens are driving 18 wheelers through our state? Because they in Oklahoma, they don't go for that stuff. Here in New York, we assume the Democrat reception where you bend over and you grab your ankles. And so we happily, from our uncomfortable position, wave to the passing illegal aliens, shouting our gratitude to Jen Lunsford and Harry Bronson and Samra Brook and Jeremy Cooney for empowering these folks to drive on our roads. Here's the deal. What we need to do is we need more illegal aliens from countries. where they have overpasses, so they'll stop driving their trucks into the overpasses. But in Oklahoma, yesterday, as they went through the day, sorted out all the stuff, they found that they actually had gathered up several commercial driver's licenses, which had been issued to illegal aliens, overwhelmingly by the state of California and the state of New York. And this phenomenon of no name given... or conversely, no given name appeared multiple times. They had at least a dozen driver's licenses, most of them from California, with no given name or no name given, in the line where the individual's name was supposed to be. There's a photograph of the individual, their height, their weight, their birth date, all those things, but the name is no given name or no name given. And this had been done multiple times, and not just that one license out of New York, but several of them out of California. And, you know, forgive me for being an idiot, but I never heard of such a thing. But the fact that it has happened multiple times and that they were able to gather up a handful of them in one weekend's enforcement on one interstate highway in America makes you wonder, makes you fear, how widespread is this?

It was just like the sun came up and hung around for a while. Then it went down. I think we had deer season then. We still had Christmas. Everybody got to have a birthday. There wasn't rioting in the streets. It was okay. Okay? It was fine. And it's going to be fine now. Basically, the Congress, as you know, has gotten in the habit of instead of like passing a budget, They do a whole bunch of like cobbled together sort of things with the grand masterpiece of legislation being called a continuing resolution, a CR. And the continuing resolution, which was at play yesterday as they were voting, essentially said, you know what? Let's just leave everything the way it is for about two months. Let's go to November 21st, okay? And now just let's spend exactly the way we're spending now. No add-ons, no takeaways, no change anything. But we've agreed on this current mode of spending. Let's just continue that for two more months so we can, I don't know, try to screw each other over. I mean, continue negotiations to come up with a good deal. You know the bull crap, they say, right? So that was what the Republican said. And that's what passed the House. Then it got to the Senate. And the Democrats say, no, we want to add on more health care spending, whatever else like that. Poor work and sons of bums like you will go out there and pay more and more of other people's health care, people who will probably wake up here about one or two in the afternoon. and see if the EBT loaded this morning. But that's what the Democrats wanted. 55 people in the Senate voted for the Republican continuing resolution, but they needed 60. And Chuck Schumer, who's trying really, really hard to show that he's still the boss of the Democrats, told the Democrats not to vote for it. And so the government shut down. And who gives crap? I'm sorry. If you work for the federal government, you should start sending your resume around. But beyond that, I don't give two hoots and hell. It's time for news.

Attorney Samantha Parisi. Car accident. You need a starter. Not a bench player. We represent you personally. Welcome back. You know, yesterday we said a little bit about the... soon-to-be former school superintendent in Des Moines, Iowa.

Now, I'm an ignorant person. When I think of Des Moines, Iowa, I think they grow corn out there. I've been to Iowa many times. I really, really like Iowa. I think I've gone through Des Moines, not that smart about it. I know the Des Moines register, the newspaper there, used to be a significant and prominent newspaper in the day. I did not realize Des Moines was kind of like the capital of commie lives for the Great Plains. The story is that the school superintendent there... over the weekend, got in a, he was being chased by the police, specifically by federal immigration police, the folks from ICE. He was in a school car, and they wanted to talk to him, and he took off like a bat out of heck, right? And so, you know, they call local police, they're pursuing. Finally, they get the guy stopped. They take him into custody, and they discover. that he is illegally possessing a 9mm handgun, and he also had something like $3,000 in cash on him, which is, you know, some people do that. I'm not one of those folks, but, you know, some people. And it turns out that the school superintendent is an illegal alien, that he came here from, I think, Guyana in 1999 on a student visa and never went back. Right? He just kind of stayed and has been these years an illegal alien. And the story was yesterday that, hold it, how did the school not know that? And, you know, he was like all school superintendents in, you know, cities being paid massive amounts of money, which raises the question of... Well, who's Social Security number? Did that, I mean, right? And you have to, when you get a job, like my son, Robbie, who's a very proud Walmart cashier, he had to take in his birth certificate to prove his U.S. citizenship when he hired on at Walmart. One would think that the Des Moines, Iowa City School District might have standards of employment documentation that are at least as high as those of Walmart. How did this all happen, right? And did nobody catch anything? Anyway, a lot of unanswered questions. One more new piece of information is developed, and we'll talk about that in half a moment. Time now, though, for traffic and weather on the tens on News Radio Wham 1180.

Traffic is still slowing down this morning over on 590 southbound, getting down toward Browncroft Boulevard with an accident cleared. Over on 490 eastbound sewing down to Pittsburgh, Pomer Road, 390 moving okay. Paul Road at Archer Road in Chila. It's a crash. 104 West at County Lime Road in Webster, an accident being cleared. I'm Debbie Du Hayne, News Radio. Wham 1180. News Radio Wham 1180 weather. Brought you by William Matar. Hurt in a car. Call William Matar. Wow, it's going to be a great day. A lot cooler than yesterday, though. Sunny, a high, maybe 60 degrees, possibly the low 60s. It's 50 at 841, and you're listening to News Radio Wham 1180. So anyway. You got the illegal alien guy, very flashy dresser, very flamboyant, very high concept. Des Moines, very proud of him. Look like we have, oh, it's kind of like he was something to show off. And look at what we have. And at any rate, it turns out to be an illegal alien. And probably he is not going to be superintendent schools in Des Moines. any longer. Probably he's not going to be living in the United States any longer. But here's one thing that people kicked up yesterday afternoon, nosing around. It turns out that the illegal alien superintendent of schools in Des Moines, Iowa, since 2012, had been a registered voter. For 13 years, He had been eligible to vote. I say eligible in that a piece of paper had been turned in, and that piece of paper had been registered on the voter rolls. And on election day, there was a place waiting just for him, just like there's a place waiting just for you. The difference being you would go legally and he would go illegally. And I, you know, I'm not one of these people who's talking about, oh, elections got stolen, this, that, and the other. But we are told repeatedly, including by our man Joe Morelli, that illegal aliens are not voting. Only citizens are voting. And efforts by Republicans to verify voter roles. in regard to citizenship, that those are really just about trying to scare people away, to steal the franchise, to oppress particularly minority voters. That's what our Democrat friends tell us. Okay? Well, here's a surprise. Our Democrat friend, again, I don't know how many illegal aliens are signed up to vote. I don't know how many go to vote. But we've been told it can't happen. And yet, in the case of this man, it happened for a dozen years. And so we could presume that this is the only instance of this in this nation of 333 million people. Or we could say, you know what, we may need to be a little more conscientious about maintaining the integrity of our voter rolls. And it does raise the question.

Why are Democrats so adamant that we not verify voter rolls? Why is it that the Democratic Party, state after state nationwide, is so dead set against simple verification? It may be because... It may be because they suspect that there are illegal aliens casting ballots or other folks who ought not to be voting. And maybe Democrats are tolerant of that because their presumption is most of those folks are voting for them. Whatever your view on immigration is, right? And we have some who say, build a wall, don't let anybody in. And we have others who say, throw open the doors, let everybody in. Right? Myself, I don't care which it is as long as we do it legally. But whatever your thoughts on immigration are, or even your thoughts on what to do with folks who are currently in the country in violation of our law, no matter what your thought on that issue is, which I ever side, shouldn't we be agreed on protecting the integrity of the vote? Right? Shouldn't we be protecting the franchise by assuring that it's not adulterated and cheapened and may be stolen by folks who don't have the legal right to vote? God bless Americans, line everybody up and let's go decide what we're going to decide. That's our right. But if you've come here and not yet become a citizen, and particularly if you've come here illegally, you have no place in this line. The vote is not yours to cast. Take a break back in a moment. It's going to be a great day. This is News Radio Wham 1180. In times like these. I just want to say thank you. Past few days have not been easy. In good times. Thank you. In tough times. News Radio.

You can see forever, severe, clearer, I think they call it. It's going to top out at about 60 degrees or low 60s today, quite a bit cooler than recent days. Just a 48-hour cold snap and then hot again for the summertime. It is, what, 50 degrees at 8.51, and you're listening to News Radio Wham 1180.

You know, one of the things that's making this cell phone ban works so well in schools, the fact that it is, and I don't want to speak obviously for all school districts by any means, but it is being benignly ignored. And I don't say that as a criticism. And again, my deal was I don't think the state should be making policies for individual schools. Our cell phone's a problem for kids? Absolutely. And at any rate, so the governor put in this statewide ban. And God bless her for it. And God bless it to be successful at helping our kids. And I honestly think that so far this year, It has shown that it probably will help our kids, at least some of them, to a degree, and that's all to the plus. And I have nothing but gratitude for it. I think thus far, about a month in, what's happened is that you have a certain group of youngsters who are of a mind to be... obedient to school rules and they are being obedient to school rules. And you have other youngsters who are less of a mind to be obedient to school rules and they are being less obedient to school rules. And there are, if we're honest about it, a lot of kids who still have their phones with them. But here's the deal. We still get benefit. The ones who are obeying the rules and put their phone in the pouch or don't bring their phone to school or leave it in the locker or whatever the school has set up, those youngsters are, you know, looking not at a screen as much because they're still looking at their Chromebooks, but they're looking up and the benefits that parents and the governor expected seem to be coming to pass. And, you know, some who choose to break the rule are kind of sneaking a peek at the phone every now and again, but clearly are able to do it a lot less than they could previously. So, again, it seems to have been, we've fallen into this new way of living very smoothly. And I think that that's not a bad thing. I'm not going to complain about it. And the simple reminder also that, If you believe that kids off their cell phone do better in school, then, you know, I wonder what about after the bell might kids off their cell phone not also do better in life? And in those hours outside of the school day, you who pay for the phone, you know, what's your policy? We know what Kathy Oakley's policy is. Okay, looks like it's probably going to help us out, at least some.

So what's your policy? And during the hours that you actually get to parent your kids, what are you going to do? And that will be different for different families. And I'm not saying one size fits all. But it honestly seems that every minute we can have kids heads up and looking about does some small bit of good for them. And as you look, even at some of these recent attacks we've had, a couple of the sniper people were folks who were profoundly into online gaming through consoles and through their phones. And they disappeared into a cyber world that wasn't real. And that seems to have contributed to... some sort of profound mental instability that took them to a very dark and tragic place. So anyway, a lot of kids are cheating on their phone at school, but that's not necessarily terribly bad or creating a nasty problem. And if it's wise to restrict phone usage at school, maybe it's wise to restrict phone usage at home. Time now for news with the voice the Finger Lakes, the great Joe Lasky on news radio Wham 1180.
