Lewiston Town Board Member

I am writing today to ask for your support of my good friends as they continue their efforts to keep the Town of Lewiston as beautiful and vibrant as it has ever been. Having served as a Lewiston Town Councilman for nearly fourteen years now, I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am to be a small part of our Town’s rebirth and prosperity. As anyone who has ever served their community will tell you, having a local government that really works does not happen by accident. Only by supporting those individuals with the eagerness to roll up their sleeves and become fully engaged in the political process, those who exhibit the ability to see things from another’s vantage point and, most importantly, those who are brave enough to do what is right in the face of adversity, can we maintain our current course.

For voters in 2019, we are fortunate in the Town of Lewiston to have such quality candidates on the ballot. Steve Broderick and Bill Geiben are squarely in this category and I have been truly privileged to serve alongside them for several years now. Both Steve and Bill have a proven track record of fiscal responsibility and for making decisions that benefit the entire Town of Lewiston. Through their leadership and example, the individual departments of Town government have never worked more closely and cooperatively together. I have witnessed Bill and Steve routinely putting policy before politics to ensure that everyone at Town Hall has a voice and that everyone is provided with the tools to do their job to the best of their ability.

Bill and Steve currently serve as the cornerstones of a new and wonderful vision for our town. They are perpetually available to our residence and are continuously looking to improve operational efficiencies, wherever they may be found. Both men have worked tirelessly for the residents of Lewiston and deserve to serve for as long as they are willing to do so.

The prospect of adding a candidate like Jason Myers to our Town Board is also truly exciting. Jason, a resident of Sanborn, brings a unique set of skills and talents that will serve him and the Town of Lewiston well in the years to come. With a background in business management and marketing, Jason Myers will ensure our continued focus on efficient use of taxpayer dollars. Unlike other candidates on the ballot, he possesses actual leadership experience that he gained as the former board president of the Niagara Gospel Rescue Mission. Moreover, his unique experience as a current member of the Niagara Wheatfield School Board will also provide us with invaluable insight to our counterparts at Lewiston Porter. Jason is a natural fit for our Town Board.

As I have said on many previous occasions, I am so very proud to be a member of this community and to serve as your Town Councilman. Please help to ensure that we continue what we have begun by selecting the right people for the job. Join me this November in my support for Steve Broderick, Bill Geiben and Jason Myers.

Craig Bucki Stands Out in Race for Supreme Court, Has All the Tools to Be Strong Judge

By tony Farina · September 16, 2026

By Tony Farina I’ve covered many court proceedings and trials in my more than 35 years as a newspaper and television reporter and I want to make the point at the beginning of this story that whether elected or appointed, some judges are fair and honest and many others fall short of the mark. In other words, the word jurist does not convey skill and knowledge of the law; it is just a role that some serve with distinction, and others do not. By definition, a jurist is a person who has expert or thorough knowledge of the law but

Is Niagara Falls Crisis Self-Inflicted? Lots of Questions, Few Answers

By tony Farina · September 15, 2026

By Tony Farina There are certainly many questions swirling around the mayor’s declaration of a state of emergency in Niagara Falls over trash, blight, and deteriorating streets that was declared back on July 20 and has been extended several times since because, according to Mayor Robert Restaino, the City Council refused to approve contractor agreements. But some observers point to depleted staff at City Hall, like in Public Works and Code Enforcement and other departments, as really self-inflicted wounds that are the underlying reasons work is not getting done in the city. Or is there even more to the story,

NIAGARA FALLS BUILT THE MODERN WORLD ON ITS POWER. IT CAN DO IT AGAIN.

The  Data Center That Answers Hochul’s Objections There was a time when Niagara Falls did not ask Albany whether it was permitted to prosper. The river was here. That was enough. The town had something Albany couldn’t give it. It used what was here. Water. Power. Work. Jobs. Industry. A future. In 1895, the Adams plant took the river and put it into wire. The current went to Buffalo. It changed the industrial world. Tesla supplied the designs. Westinghouse built the machines. Niagara supplied the falling water. Then industries came. Electrochemical. Electrometallurgical. They came because Niagara offered abundant, inexpensive electricity.

Niagara Falls Has Millions of Tourists But Needs to Find a Way to Capture That Wealth

By tony Farina · September 8, 2026

By Tony Farina The City of Niagara Falls, N.Y., boasts one of the world’s greatest natural wonders that people from around the world come to see, but despite incredible tourism numbers of more than nine million visitors a year, the city of now less than 50,000 people is still pretty darn poor. Niagara Falls does not have a tourism problem; it has a tourism-capture problem, and the distinction should be a starting point for a serious new discussion about the city’s future. And ladies and gentlemen, that discussion needs to start now. The question is no longer whether Niagara Falls
