The competition for Sean Ryan's state Senate seat, should he ascend to the Mayor's Office in January, has begun.
Both Democratic Chairman Jeremy Zellner and Assemblyman Jonathan Rivera have begun jockeying for the seat.

New: For 3 months now, I’ve been trying to get City Hall to release records related to the city’s plan to sell off the downtown parking ramps.
Yet at every turn, @MayorScanlon’s team has stonewalled me.
Their violation of FOIL is a pattern:

Breaking: For nearly a week, ICE has staked out Greenwood Place on Buffalo's West Side, targeting an Iranian man.
An asylum seeker, the man has no criminal history and no warrant. Agents are seeking to detain him following U.S. military strikes on Iran.

FYI: If you hear of ICE traffic stops or arrests in Buffalo/Western NY, please DM or email me.

This is an agency that doesn’t publicize its day to day work — especially not arrests of innocent people & traffic stops like this:

Boy, Doug Jemal’s got a pretty sweet life.
The president who pardoned him for federal crimes is back in office.
He gets to use tax dollars for his own buildings & gets praised for doing so.
And when he sits on properties, doing nothing, he gets his praises sung by local media.

New: State lawmakers and community advocates today bashed the city for failing to spend federal grant money meant to remove lead paint from homes.
Just 18 of 110 homes have been remediated. The city loses the rest of the money if it's not spent by July.

New: The Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency stands to lose a multi-million dollar federal grant it had received to combat lead poisoning in the city.
Why? The city agency took too long to spend the money.
Our I'Jaz Ja'ciel got the scoop:

Doug Jemal is slowly assembling a heavily-subsidized empire of hotels in downtown Buffalo.
But when workers attempted to unionize, Jemal cracked down, hard. Instead of spending $ on repairs, he hired union-busters.

"Buffalo is a union town, except for hotels,” Gary Bonadonna Jr., regional head of @WorkersUnited.
@derekseidman80 writes about how Buffalo’s identity as a union town is clashing head-on with its dependence on developers turned saviors like Doug Jemal.

New: Scanlon has begun studying plans to get the city’s cultural properties — Kleinhans, Shea’s, the museums — off city books.
That could lead to the “privatization” of some, records show.
But in recent years, the city’s only spent $190k/yr on them.
