    West Seneca voters overwhelmingly approved adding two seats to the Town Board Tuesday, with nearly twice as many voters favoring increasing the board as those opposed.

    The board has had three members — two councilmen and the supervisor — since 2010, after residents voted in 2009 to downsize the board by cutting two council positions.

    Slowly but surely western New Yorkers are unraveling the mess made of town governments by Gaughanism and the editorial staff of the Buffalo News.

    Yes, we did! The first step to restoring our representation has been accomplished! 62% voted YES in a record turn out general election!

    That’s good work, sport. Most people don’t appreciate how hard it is to successfully run a ballot initiative like that. The walking the petitions, making sure that the petitions are in proper legal form so that some judge with his hand in someone’s pocket doesn’t invalidate it, making sure that people can find it on the ballot when the board of elections is doing everything it can to hide it. Lots of work.
