A city worker walks into the Third Street Tap Room and says, “Bartender, a round for everyone, on me!”

The bartender says, “Well, seems you’re in a really good mood tonight, hmm?”

“Oh, you can bet on it! I just got hired by the city to go around and remove all the money from parking meters. I start tomorrow!”

The bartender congratulates the man and proceeds to pour the round. The next night the same man walks back in, “Bartender, TWO rounds for everyone, on me!”

The bartender says, “If you’re so happy just over having this new job, I can just imagine how happy you’ll be when you get your first paycheck!”

With a surprised look on his face, the man pulls out a handful of quarters from his pocket and says, “You mean I get a paycheck too?”

A man dressed in hunting clothes and carrying a shotgun was arrested for stalking tourists in Niagara Falls State Park. When asked what he thought he was doing, he stated, “It’s tourist season, isn’t it?”

Mayor Dyster found out that the city comptroller has scammed the city out of $2 million. The comptroller happens to be deaf. Dyster had previously hired him because a deaf comptroller would not be able to hear anything he’d ever have to testify about in court.

When the mayor questions the comptroller about the missing $2 million, he brings along Seth Piccirillo, who knows sign language. The mayor asks the comptroller: “Where is the $2 million you embezzled?” Piccirillo, using sign language, asks the comptroller where the $2 million dollars is hidden.

The comptroller signs back: “I don’t know what you are talking about. ” Seth Piccirillo tells the mayor: “He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”

That’s when Mayor Dyster pulls out a 9 mm pistol, puts it to the comptroller’s temple, cocks it, and says: “Ask him again!” Piccirillo signs to the underling: “He’ll kill you for sure if you don’t tell him!”

The comptroller signs back: “OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind my cousin Pat’s house in DeVeaux!” The mayor asks Seth Piccirillo: “Well, what’d he say?”

Piccirillo replies: “He says you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.”

A Niagara Falls Police officer recently stopped a tourist for exceeding the posted speed limit. He asked the driver her name.
She said, “I’m Mrs. Chadivaler Zuminskagia Ragretumunga from the Republic of Uzbekistan visiting my daughter.”
As she finished speaking the cop paused for a moment and then put away his summons book and pen, and said, “Well… OK… this time you get a warning.”

A Niagara Falls Police officer was covering a quiet beat when he was amazed to find a former police captain on the police force doing the same.
He stopped the car and asked, “Why, Captain, this wouldn’t be your new beat out here on the streets, would it?”
“That it is,” the captain replied grimly, “ever since I arrested the judge on his way to the masquerade ball.”
“You mean you pinched his honor?” asked the patrol officer.
“How was I to know that his convict suit was only a costume?” demanded the demoted captain.
“Well,” mused the cop, “there’s a lesson in this somewhere.”
“That there is,” replied the captain…. “You should never book a judge by his cover.”

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
