Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey With ‘Riley & Scot’ [AUDIO]

Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey joined us on the show this week to discuss a number of issues that have been simmering over the past month or so.

First on the agenda was funding for the future AAR facility at the Rockford Airport. Both the Rockford City Council and the Winnebago County Board now have approved payments for their respective share of the costs. More than 500 jobs are expected to be created at RFD.
