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.
