The Naples School District has 2 electric buses. They've crunched the numbers and right now, they're paying about 36 cents per mile for diesel and $3.18 per mile for electric. Here's part of my conversation with the transportation director. Full story tonight on News10NBC

WATCH: Drivers blowing past stopped school buses in districts across Monroe Co. These are just a few of the near-misses that have happened over the last few months. Since the cameras were installed on buses in several local districts, more than 18k tickets have been issued.

Greece CSD is doubling down on diesel buses amid uncertainty over the state's electric school bus mandate. Greece operates 190 buses that transport more than 10k students to 98 different schools/programs every day. Here's why they're not going electric (at least at this point):

We caught up with Senator Jeremy Cooney to talk about the CLCPA, the possible costs and the debate over what to do next. Also, does he support reconvening the Climate Action Council to look into this as Senate Republicans have requested?

New NYS DMV regs will start being enforced on 2/16. Used to be the accumulation of 11 points over 18 months could get your license suspended, now it'll be 10 points over 24 months. The point values of certain violations are also going up. Here's the deal: News10NBC

Doctors and nurses line the hallway at Strong Hospital to honor Brandy Miller as she’s brought to donate her organs. Miller died Monday following injuries she sustained after being trampled at the Armory. Her sister tells me her heart, kidneys and liver were used to save others

I spoke with two state lawmakers today, one who voted in favor of the Climate Leadership and Protection Act (CLCPA) and one who voted against it. Now that NYSERDA has some realistic projections of how much it will cost to implement it, where do they stand? Take a listen:

NYS DMV is overhauling the point system it uses to penalize drivers and the changes could impact you significantly. Points are being added or increased on most violations, including some of the "small" ones AND they stay on your record longer. Check out my story below:

Dozens of state lawmakers are urging Governor Kathy Hochul to declare an “energy state of emergency.” They say it could allow her to suspend certain taxes/fees on utility bills. The NYS Senate Republicans also wants to return money that has been set aside for electrification projects. News10NBC

NYS taxpayers are chipping in $4.7m toward the $17m price tag to expand capacity in the Town of Henrietta where a lack of power has stalled development. If towns are out of power now, what happens when electrification mandates go into effect? I asked the RG&amp;E CEO about it:

Border Czar Thomas D. Homan is meeting w/Rochester Police Locust Club tomorrow. Homan spoke about it from the White House today. The Mayor and Police Chief will not be meeting with Homan, neither will Congressman Joe Morelle who says Homan should say in Washington and "do his damn job."
