Oops - Maggie’s Fast Ferry RenSquare isn’t funded

Well - according to Congresswomen Louise Slaughter who is always full of spunk and surprises.   She appeared on 1370 Connection with Bob Smith today and via WXXI.

Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter of Fairport says there’s no plan to apply any of the infrastructure money in the package to Renaissance Square’s under-funded performing arts center, despite the county executive’s request of both the federal and state government for $30 million for the project.

Slaughter says she still questions the wisdom of the entire project, including the transportation center at the core of it. And she says while the project will create construction jobs, ultimately it will “always take money. It’s not going to make money.”

No kidding.

let’s see how the Dean of Rochester’s upstate Congressional delegation makes out with this.  Remember Senator Chuck Schumer came out and supported it.  Louise wants a Bus/rail station.  Who is your money on?

Might have to listen to to WXXI’s replay tonight to get the details about this and other topics.

1370AM rebroadcast tonight 9 to 11pm
