We love comments.

Here are three in response to: 

Niagara Falls Taxpayers will pay to host Great Lakes Conference Dyster given $75,000 blank check to spend as he likes  

Dave:

If you’re going to blast the Niagara Falls City Council and spending, please stop being lazy and actually attend a meeting, instead of using a competitor’s story. This isn’t journalism, it’s simply a rewrite with your own spin on it and a telephone call 10 minutes before deadline.
If you spend like five minutes searching for last year’s conference, you could actually learn some interesting items to report about spending and outcome. The laziness from the Reporter is overwhelming.

Here is an opposite view:

JS: Sounds like party time! I’m sure the mayor will supply a few kegs of good home brew for the festivities and by the time it comes to business all will be feeling good and not to worry about the blight crime and corruption in the falls. Now the question is will the mayor supply the special brew at $5k a keg or just the regular stuff at $1k a keg?

Here is another view:

Judy: HA! & exactly what is the city going to “showcase”? abandoned homes? the slum areas? the dying biz districts? the foundation for the new Hamister hotel? the remodeling of the rest of the mall for “Wonderfalls”? what a joke. Mr. [Ezra] Scott was right is saying—STOP, we need more info. Sad to say that his voice is a cry in the wilderness.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future. But unfortunately, most of the time, promises have fallen flat for the City of Niagara Falls, some succeeding but many turning out to be empty promises and major disappointments. At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
