Town of Greece Supreme Court Decision

- We spoke with both Randy Gorbman and Bill Reilich about the decision. Randy works with public radio in Rochester and he gave his take on it. Bill is the Town Supervisor.

- The decision that came down is that prayer before meetings is not in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

- Bill Reilich talked about this decision and told us that the process for prayers before meetings includes signing up in advance to get your chance to lead the prayer before the meeting. There are no restrictions when it comes to denomination.

7:45-8:00:

- Another NBA owner, Bruce Levinson, came out on CNN and said he could not do business with Donald Sterling anymore. He talks about Sterling as a partner in the NBA and he can't be partners with him. He came out in support of the NBA commissioner's decision to ban Sterling from the league.

- What is team to do? Fans will support the team if they decided to play. The team probably handled this situation perfectly, in addition the Player's Association.

Steve Bulger - President of Kids Oneida

- Before we got to Ken, a loyal listener named Tom called up and corrected Jeff on his use of the expression, "Love of money is the root of all evil."

- Ken represents the Town of Manheim in a matter regarding a company that wants to put in a Natural Gas Filling Station in their town. The proposed filling site is near a natural gas pipeline and the company wants to tap into it.

- Some people in the town are opposed to it, but the Town itself is making sure that the company goes through proper procedures and that everyone has their opinion heard.
