I shared this not as a dig towards the governor. I shared it because my candidacy and others like it activated and excited tens of thousands of young people all across the nation and established Democrats consistently and continuously alienate us. I think it’s time…
I will never forget when @GovKathyHochul was appointed governor. I was the duly elected Democratic nominee for mayor of Buffalo and she wouldn’t shake my hand at a picnic hosted by @ecdems

Upon taking office, Donald Trump is threatening to begin mass deportations.
What could that mean for the ICE detention facility in Batavia? The Buffalo News recently got a tour and spoke to officials about what they're expecting.

ACTING Mayor Scanlon congratulates ANOINTED Legislator St. Jean Tard.
Neither were elected to their position by their constituents.
Congratulations to Taisha St. Jean Tard on your appointment to fill the vacant Erie County Legislature 2nd District seat!
I had the privilege of working with you for nearly a decade on the Buffalo Common Council, where I’ve seen your dedication firsthand. I look forward to continuing to work alongside you to serve the residents of the City of Buffalo.

This is a serious question. We're told today's special session is taking place because the city didn't account for almost $2M in executed contracts to CBOs. That means revenue replacement is closer to $17M not $19M. They're amending the amended ARP funding. Because, wow.

"S8958/A8374 gives regional planning councils the power to apply for federal and state grants."
Erie-Niagara remains still without a RPC because the elected officials want the suburbs to be able to maintain exclusionary zoning while accepting county, state and federal grants

Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon wants the city to rent the former Braymiller Market building so that the downtown police precinct can temporarily move in.

3.5 years after receiving $331M in ARP funding, City Hall says it is out of time to fund community groups, and is going to use the remaining tens of millions to address Buffalo's mismanaged finances.
Common Council is asking for your thoughts on this -- you should let them know!
We are still asking for public feedback. Please add your comments to this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

So what if Paladino is funding a mayoral candidate?
He's the biggest private property owner in the city and is getting vastly undercharged on his taxes. Especially significant when his candidate Scanlon wants to pay for Paladino's subsidies with across-the-board austerity.
