Lancaster residents deserve better
I am seeking your support for a seat on the Lancaster Town Council. As a former School and Town Board member I know how important it is for elected officials to “listen” and “respect” residents and to address their concerns. We must return accountability; integrity and credibility back to the board.

The Lancaster incumbents have got to go
I just received a campaign mailer from the endorsed Democratic Party council member candidates telling me of all the wonderful things they have done for town residents during their terms as council members. They failed to mention how many times their ears became deaf when residents approached them on personal issues.

Vote against incumbents November 3rd
Families all across the Lancaster community have had to make sacrifices and try to do more with less. Whether it’s the seniors who will not receive Social Security increases for two years, the young families whose breadwinners have had their weekly hours and/or wages cut or workers who have found that their workplaces have downsized, their workloads have drastically increased.

Mickey Kearns for Mayor of Buffalo
It has become a cliché to say that this is the most important election in many years. But it is really the case in the 2009 Buffalo Democratic Mayoral Primary. At issue is whether a mayoral administration gone astray can be dislodged by a promising but underfunded candidate, or whether the power and money of incumbency condemns us all to suffer poor leadership until the present mayor simply tires of the office.

Town of Orchard Park Downsizing and the Open Meetings Law “Con”
As many folks are aware, citizens (like myself) in the Town of Orchard Park have an important decision to make regarding downsizing our Town Board from five members to three.
In the ongoing downsizing debate, whether here or in other Towns and Villages, there are obviously numerous pros and cons on both sides of the issue.

Buffalo Crushed Stone's best interests served over that of the residents and environment
I am not an attorney, nor am I familiar with the prior cases referred to in the recent NYS Supreme Court's decision concerning Buffalo Crushed Stone vs. Town of Cheektowaga. However, while reading through this transcript it seemed to me that the justices ruling in this case bent over backward to insure BCS' position and claims, all to the undoing of the Town's zoning laws affecting the expansion of BCS' operations.
