Acting Sheriff Michael Filicetti who is running for Niagara County Sheriff.

 

By: Jim Voutour

Former Niagara County Sheriff

On January 1, 2009, I proudly began my career as Sheriff of Niagara County.  You elected me three times to be your Sheriff.  It was one of the greatest honors of my life.  Words fall far short of being able to explain how much it meant to me.

I will forever be grateful that you entrusted me with the safety and security of our community.   I worked as hard in a non-political way to justify that trust and make you proud of the job that I did for you overeleven years.

When I made the decision to retire at the end of 2019, I knew the Sheriff’s Office would be in great hands with Mike Filicetti. He and I have worked closely together for the past eight years when I appointed him to be my Undersheriff.  Mike Filicetti has been with me every step of the way.  He will be there for you, too.

 

Former Niagara County Sheriff Jim Voutour.

 

As Undersheriff, Mike was second in command of the Sheriff’s Office and oversaw all of its functions.  He is one of the most honest, dedicated and hardest-working people I have ever met.  He has unquestioned integrity.  He is battle tested.

The job of Sheriff is no place for on-the-job training. Mike will hit the ground running because he knows what must be done to protect you and your loved ones.  And he has the fortitude to be sure it gets done.

I would like to formally endorse Mike Filicetti to be our next Niagara County Sheriff.  The choice is clear.  No one can match Mike’s experience and in-depth knowledge of the Sheriff’s Office.

You trusted and supported me for over eleven years as your Sheriff.  I ask that you join me in supporting Mike Filicetti for Niagara County Sheriff.  Please vote for Mike in the Democratic Primary on June 23rd.

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
