Buffalo's elite are part of a big club — one you're not in.
A new report, 'Who Rules Buffalo,' breaks down who the rich & powerful are & how they use their influence. In short: The richest have gotten richer, and public dollars flow into private hands.

👋 Hi, it's me, "other colleague in government".
I was thrilled to join @tifftnature, @RepTimKennedy, @markpoloncarz, and other colleagues in government to celebrate the ceremonial boardwalk breaking and the start of the accessible trail project at Tifft Nature Preserve!
This three-quarter-mile trail will feature a compacted stone dust surface, widened and rebuilt Heritage Boardwalk, ADA-compliant viewing areas, and a tactile map to ensure visitors of all abilities can fully enjoy Tifft.

NEW: Overtime payments to Buffalo city workers has hit a five-year high, totaling more than $41 million in the 2024 fiscal year that ended in June.
These costs come as the city faces a tough budget next year. Much of the overtime was earned by city cops.
