Keeler and Monaski get into it over the UPD Facebook issue. Free speech and the page's reflection on our community are the focal points.

And, Rome Mayor Jackie Izzo prepares to give her budget message on Wednesday. She says the budget may include some pain but says she's looking to avoid any layoffs.

Local attorney Rebecca Wittman on to discuss the UPD Facebook page. Her client's photo and arrest description was posted. She claims a former city police investigator weighed in and made an 'unbelievably, uncalled for racist remark'.
