In addition to co-producing investigative stories, Investigative Post and WGRZ 2 On Your Side will broadcast weekly interviews with newsmakers that will air on Daybreak Sunday. Investigative Post Editor Jim Heaney will conduct the interviews.

This Sunday he puts questions to Phil Rumore, president of the Buffalo Teachers Federation. Rumore has lead the BTF since 1981. He and the union are currently embroiled in a dispute with state education officials over proposed teacher evaluations.

In their interview, Heaney quizzes Rumore about the quarrel over evaluations and a number of other topics, including whether the BTF president intends to seek another term, the quality of education provided city students and what share of the district’s 3,400 teachers are up to par.

Heaney interviewed Rumore for about 25 minutes Thursday. Interview highlights will air on Daybreak Sunday. The complete interview will be available online at InvestigativePost.org and WGRZ.com after Sunday’s broadcast about 6:40 a.m.

Heaney will appear on today’s (Friday) 5 p.m. newscast to discuss the interview.
