When the town of Wheatfield applied to Assemblyman John Ceretto’s office for state aid, his response was “Go jump off a Cliffe.”

**************************************

There’s a new drinking game that’s taking place at Apple Granny’s on Center Street in Lewiston – you do a shot every time John Ceretto switches political parties.

*************************************************************

We heard John Ceretto is having flashbacks to the Flip Wilson’s sketch in the ’60’s TV show “Laugh In”: “Here come da Judge! Here come da Judge!”

******************************************************************

A local non-profit had never received any state aid from John Ceretto, so they called the Assemblyman. “We would like a share of some of the taxpayer dollars that you recycle from Albany back to the community” they asked him. “Can you help us?”

Ceretto replied, “Did you know that there are more poor people per capita in Niagara Falls than anywhere else in the state?”

“Um, no,” was the reply.

“… or that Niagara County suffers from one of the highest rates of taxation in the nation?”

“I … I … I had no idea.”

“So,” said Ceretto, “if I didn’t direct any government spending to those problems, why would I give any money to you?”

“Well… because it’s good for John Ceretto?”

“Why didn’t you say so in the first place?” chuckled the Assemblyman.

**************************************************************

Ceretto aide Rob Nichols, whose leaked emails revealed the seamier side of John Ceretto’s political dealings last week, previously worked in the Information Technology field for decades before joining the Assemblyman’s staff. After election day, he’ll undoubtedly be looking to work again in the same field for some lucky corporation that wants to read its most embarrassing internal emails in the pages of the Buffalo News and the Gazette. No joke here, except for Nichol’s rankly amateurish attempts at politics on behalf of Assemblyman Ceretto.

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
