    Here is an easy one.

    Why was $5k+ spent on a Christmas party on themselves Dec 2014? How does this relate to the town 4th of July parade and fireworks?



    I'm actually working and don't have time to point some of it out.

    Another item I'd like to know. I wonder if the board of directors of the group are card carrying Cheektowaga Democratic party members.

    Why is the town paying for a private christmas party?

    Inappropriate use of Town funds.

    It get's better.

    2015 rolls along and instead of Salvatore's we move the venue to the Millennium Hotel.






    Dan and Cheektowaga.

    Am I able to go in front of the town board and ask for $5000 to hold a party for my friends? I'm going to request that a lot of Black Velvet, White Russian and Southern Comfort be served. Yes or no?


    Or how about this?

    I want a private picnic for a close group of friends....Think the town board will fund that?

    So how many hamburgers and wieners can one buy for $1100 dollars from the Broadway Deli?



    1. Broadway Convenience Deli

    1305 Broadway St
    Buffalo, NY 14212
    (716) 894-0172


    2. Lancaster's Broadway Deli

    5430 Broadway St
    Lancaster, NY 14086
    (716) 681-3100

    So which Broadway Deli was it?

    This is not appropriate use of town funds.

    Next question I would like answered if anyone knows. Did any of our board members attend either the summer picnic or either Christmas party?

    I could have been told incorrect information. Is board member Jerry's wife involved in this group? If so was she at this events? Did Jerry while board member know about these private parties and picnics?

    This is interesting.

    Not a bad group but why would the commission donate $550 to the cheektowaga chamber of commerce? 9-11-2014?

    That check was for fireworks. Exactly what the money was supposed to be spent on.

    Here is why I made the reference to liquor



    So Dan,

    You think it's ok for the town to pay for a group of people to get loaded up and drive home after the private party? Or did us property owners pay for cabs?

    It's totally unbelievable that ALL the town board members over the years allowed this.
    Private parties on the taxpayers' dime, WTF?
    Didn't your former supervisor frequently partake in the consumption of alcohol?
    (I don't drink but am not against people who drink.)

    Was she or any of the board members part of the guest list?
