A group of young adults who reside in North Tonawanda held their first Niagara County Young Republican Meeting on April 23rd at the North Tonawanda Public Library.

The meeting was a “great success” consisting of nearly 40 people attending from various locations ranging from Lockport, North Tonawanda, Wilson, Niagara Wheatfield, and Niagara Falls.

They had two representatives from Senator Ortt’s office there, countless city officials from North Tonawanda including Mayor Pappas and County Legislator Rich Andres who was also recently appointed to “Niagara County GOP Chairman” Andres spoke at the meeting.

Andres stated “The skill set I learned while participating in the Young Republicans was something that I was able to carry throughout my life and still utilize to this day as Niagara County GOP Chair”.

Throughout the meeting it was stressed that getting involved in this group is great way to get involved with the republican party in general.

Many things were discussed throughout the meeting, including Alex Quinn NCYGOP President stating that “This group is here for a common goal, making Niagara County as great as it can and should be”.

Alex also said “ This group is not about political dominance in the county, it’s about like minded people coming together to make the city and the county a better place” Alex concluded saying if they know anyone interested in going to please reach out.

Kiel Davignon talked about the importance of voting and voter turnout through the past 10 years, he is also out marketing/social media specialist.

Jacob Quinn, the Chief VP, gave a brief summary on a project they started. The project consists of putting 30 3×5 American flags on Oliver street for memorial day.

Joe Marranca the Executive VP discussed what it meant for him to be a republican. He concluding his introduction with a quote from Ronald Reagan that states “we can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone”.

Erik Doman the Spokesperson for them spoke a lot about the potential he sees in Niagara County and all the endless possibilities and opportunities.

The meeting ended with a interactive session.

They asked the crowd “what are the biggest issues this country faces?” Their were many responses, but most centered on illegal immigration, free speech, fake news/biased media and attacks on 2nd amendment rights.

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,

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
