2016 is being called “The year of the political woman.” Councilman Charles Walker remarked, “Yeah, it’s the year of the political woman, but Kristen isn’t that woman.”

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.
