In this mornings BUF News, there was a good reason why all the 'industrial development agengies' that impact WNY need to merge so they prioritize the tax breaks handed out.

One article shows how Fantasy Island is getting a $74,000 tax break, that they didn't really need as they would have put the ride in regardless.

The other article talks about state tax credits being delayed for Niagara Transformer on Duke Rd. Cheektowaga that may cause the company to move to N. Carolina with 54-68 jobs (that probably pay pretty well). The owner wants to keep the company here and expand, and the government beuracracy may screw things up.

It appears you have Erie County IDA, NY state and town of Cheektowaga all involed yet not one person is responsible for overseeing this request in an timely manner.

I think looking at requests from a company that provides good paying jobs and wants to expand in WNY is more important than giving tax breaks to an amusement park that is not going anywhere.

More goverment mis-management.
