- The Scots have voted to remain in the United Kingdom and the vote was somewhat close, but the voter turnout was at about 80%.
- Bill talks about how he feels there needs to be a debate for the Utica Common Council President position and the Council at Large seat. We haven't heard from Frank Meola since last Fall and it's time for him to come out and be heard from. The same goes true for Jack LoMedico.
- Joe Load who is the highlight in a video we posted to our website (http://wibx950.com/car-dealership-spokespersons-hilarious-attempt-to-do-tv-commercial-from-rooftop-video/). We will talk to him about his fear of heights.
- Bill is fired up about the gas prices here in Utica and why we always pay more than Syracuse, Albany, and the THRUWAY!! We will talk with Ed Welsh later on this morning to talk about that.
6:20-6:30:
- We play a clip of last night's Atlanta/Tampa Bay game and Atlanta crushed them. They scored the most point in Falcons history.

- The Huffington Post has done an article of the richest and poorest cities in America. The #1 richest is Washington D.C. and San Francisco is in at number #2. The poorest cities are Miami and Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay being the poorest.
- We wonder where Utica would fall on the list and our median household income is right around $54,000 in Utica and a little less in Oneida County at $49,000. The poverty rate in Utica is at about 22%.
- Ken Boone from the Weather Channel: Chilly temperatures this morning and we could see a cold front this Sunday bringing rain and possible storms so Saturday is the day to have fun.
