Hey! Hows about some coverage of what the Buffalo Niagara “Partnership” (does that include ‘omerta’?) and the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo are “doing” for Niagara County.

Boy, could I tell a few tales of their sway and “influence.” If there’s any more of that sort of thing, I’d like to nominate them for a RICO award.

It time for our standard WNY approach. This whole situation can be solved with some positive spin. Now everyone think about something nice to say about Rudnick.

The BNP is fighting tooth and nail to save Rudnick’s salary and benefits that has been reported to exceed $400,000. Businesses in WNY have been hurting for a long time, but the past year has been especially brutal. Has Rudnick taken any sort of benefit or pay cut in these hard times? WNY has been hemorrhaging businesses, jobs, people, money, services and its quality of life and taxes and assessments have continued to rise for decades now. The good ole boy system in Albany wines us and dines us before every election and then dumps us on our behinds the day after. The BNP is supposed to be business’ voice in WNY, but they’re nothing more than a cog in the wheel of the horribly broken health insurance machine. They look more like a bunch of good ole boy system fat cats sitting on their butts helping to bleed businesses dry than any kind of effective advocacy group. If you’re not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem in WNY. BNP doesn’t look to me like a group that is solving anything.

Awaiting for my sidewalks to be repaired, the leaf vacuum truck to arrive to pick up the leaves the slum lord’s lackey and the swells pushes into the streets, community police officers walking the beat, new tress planted on our back streets, a security camera on corners on the West and East Side where murders occur, Buffalo Police DWI check points in downtown Buffalo, a snow plow in the winter, garbage men that clean up the garbage they drop behind the truck (because we pay a user fee), and a Peace Bridge truck plaza in Canada. This I am absolutely sure will happen soon thanks to Andrew and TO. We are saved and well controlled and boarded.

BINGO! We have a winner and it is NOT the Partnership.
