Local reporters join us for a discussion about political patronage in Monroe County. Former County Executive Maggie Brooks has been hired as the Regional Transit Service's new vice president of strategic initiatives. Some say the job was created for her. It raises questions about other examples of political patronage in the community, and how journalists cover these stories. Our guests:
- David Andreatta, columnist, Democrat and Chronicle
- Cody Combs, reporter, 13WHAM
- Jeremy Moule, staff writer, City Newspaper
