Politics is all about power. Yeah, that’s a little cliché, but it’s also the easiest way to explain what’s happened in the Monroe County Legislature over the past year or so. Since Democratic County Executive Adam Bello took office in January 2020, two different power struggles have been playing out in the Legislature, where Republicans hold a one-seat majority over Democrats. Rifts in the local Democratic Party over the selection of an elections commissioner and other matters led four Democratic legislators to break away from their colleagues and form the Black and Asian Democratic Caucus.

Republican leaders in Monroe County are accusing Democratic County Executive Adam Bello of playing politics with the renaming of the Rochester airport.
They say the renaming ceremony, in honor of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, should have been a celebration but it lacked the appropriate fanfare and notice to the community.
They say the mayor of Rochester and the Gates and Chili town supervisors weren t invited, nor were members of the airport authority and certain members of the county legislature who voted for the name change.
