Perhaps the most significant shift will likely be how the board approaches its negotiations with the Buffalo Teachers Federation, which is working under a contract that expired more than a decade ago. The former majority took a hard-line approach, bringing in a tough attorney from downstate to place demands on the table such as a longer school day and changes to the teachers’ health plans.

I think groups that make their living on importing refugees into Erie County and the City of Buffalo need to be stopped.
