In broad strokes, the strategy is simple: insist on massive infrastructure priorities for Western New York, like a $5 billion build out of the University at Buffalo; in exchange for left-leaning policy priorities downstate, like an extension of rent control and mayoral control of New York City public schools. Each legislative session will be used to extract massive infrastructure priorities, with special focus given to coalition building during the 2018 reelection year.
Is UB growing that someone can justify us spending $5 billion?
Wouldn't our community's best interest be better served if $5 billion was invested into some of the crumbling infrastructure in Erie County instead of more "UB" ?
