If there was any justice, the state and federal governments would stop the City from spending money until real democratic reform could be adopted. Of course, the control board should be authorized to force the City to listen to its citizens. Taxation without representation, this is the stuff tea parties were made of in Boston over 200 years ago. What a fraud, Buffalo is a currupt mess and people like Tobe should be kicked out of their appointed positions for not giving a dam about democratic processes. Mayor Brown isn't what we thought he would be. He should do the right thing and fix this mess. We didn't elect him to take away our rights. This is not how legitimate cities run, this is how democracy is done in Russia, India, and other currupt regimes.

The lawyer I used for my house closing was ousted from his position as town attorney in Medina, NY last year after a vote during a town hall meeting that was supposed to be public. Instead, the meeting was held behind closed doors, with half the village pounding to get in. Small town government can also be persistent with their door-locking.
