Monroe County Exec. deliver State of the County address

C.E. Maggie Brooks -

Every day you do your best to work within your family's budget. In her State of the County Address, Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks says every level of government needs to do the same thing.

She talked about economic development, public safety, health and other programs at the Eastman Business Park Thursday night. Brooks talked at length about development and business.

She also talked about mandated programs. Brooks says they make up 82% of the county's budget. She says many people need the programs, but counties have no control over the cost. She says her priority will be Rochester's people.

Maggie Brooks, Monroe Co. Executive, said, "To me, the solution is clear, very simple, fix the mandates, and you fix the counties, fix the mandates, and you fix the counties. and more local property taxpayers will be able to keep more money each and every year in their family budget."

ROC City Wellness opens in Penfield

ROC City Wellness opens in Penfield

Eastern medicine meets the east side of Rochester at ROC City Wellness, a new health and wellness center on Penfield Road.

The new business is the brainchild of Christine Baker Marriage, a licensed massage therapist who lives in Irondequoit.

In 2012, she formed the Rochester Massage Alliance to help local massage therapists grow their business by providing a space to see clients, as well as offering networking and continuing education opportunities.

Due to the popularity of the RMA, Marriage decided to open a new business that would welcome complementary modalities of health and wellness, while allowing massage practitioners to operate independently from the membership-driven alliance.

ROC City Wellness offers therapeutic massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, holistic nutritional counseling and Reiki. Yoga and chiropractic services are expected to be offered within the next three months.
