Attorneys hired by Erie County assert no decision has been made on indemnification. Meanwhile, County Attorney Jeremy Toth has stated publicly that the county won’t be paying for punitive damages for the deputies. Who is telling the truth?

Update on the infusion of $23.5 million in affordable housing projects from @ErieCountyNY @markpoloncarz and City of Buffalo. buffalonews.com/news/local/eri…

Here's my report and analysis of Erie County Executive @markpoloncarz's 2024 State of the County address last night. buffalonews.com/news/local/gov…
Erie County Executive @markpoloncarz will be covering a lot of ground at tonight's State of the County address at the @BuffaloAKG, but here's a roadmap to some of the bigger new initiatives he'll be announcing at 5 pm. buffalonews.com/news/local/gov…
Today at 5 PM, I will deliver my 2024 State of the County. Below is a preview article regarding some of the items I will discuss, including the need for a countywide real property tax assessment division to create a fairer and more uniform system. buffalonews.com/news/local/gov…

Another sneak peak at @markpoloncarz's State of the County address. The county's pilot program into renewable diesel and how our bad eating habits play a role. buffalonews.com/news/local/eri… via @TheBuffaloNews
The heavy bureaucracy of government often compares poorly to the cost effectiveness of the private sector. But not always. Hence @markpoloncarz's latest proposal to create a new Public Defender's Office, part of his upcoming State of the County address: buffalonews.com/news/local/cri…

County Executive @markpoloncarz says says the $95 million judgment against Erie County in the inmate death case of Richard Metcalf is "not justifiable" and that the most he expected the case would settle for is $25 million. buffalonews.com/news/local/pol…

"We provide the best level of medical care possible, and in such cases like this, we nor the hospital was able to save this woman," Sheriff John Garcia said. by @SandraTanBN buffalonews.com/news/local/eri…
This week's @TheBuffaloNews Off Main Street column is a fun one: @SandraTanBN on a cheesy State of the County address; @JerryZremski on why Gary Dickson can't vote for himself; @chessabond on "Hot Ones" in Buffalo; and me with an item on Bison chip dip. buffalonews.com/news/local/off…
The treatment of Rochester @rocnewsguild journalists at the hands of @Gannett and @DandC reflects the kind of unethical and dirty leadership that led to the journalists' strike in the first place. We stand with the @rocnewsguild because they are right and @Gannett is wrong.
Update, in brief: even after 2 years’ experience of duplicitous bargaining by Gannett, we were floored by what they pulled today. Inserting new language into agreed-upon sections and hoping we wouldn’t notice. We did, and so there’s no contract. 1/
Today we saw truly despicable dealings from @Gannett. As sickening as it's been at the bargaining table, it's also been painful to watch them disrespect our readers. Your support now and going forward means as much as ever. #supportlocaljournalism
Sadly, this did not happen. The @rocnewsguild is ending our strike and we are back to work tomorrow. But because the company once again bargained in bad faith, our contract remains unresolved. It was a pretty deplorable day. For those who supported us, thank you.
Gannett not trusting their journalists to READ in the perfect example for how much they disrespect their staff and, by extension, everyone reading the paper.

when you get this kind of perspective from gary craig, the most respected journalist in rochester, you truly understand how deplorable and shitty @Gannett is. i say this with the least amount of respect possible, fuck those assholes.
For some reason I keep thinking I'll see honesty, fairness and integrity from Gannett. Today proved how hopeless those wishes are. Either the company was duplicitous with its contract proposal or lazy and inept. Either option speaks volumes. Truly pathetic.
...when the strike started, the company had issued a statement saying that its goal was “to preserve journalism and serve our community as we continue to bargain in good faith.” LOL
Unionized journalists at the Democrat & Chronicle say they will return to work Thursday, but are not going to sign a proposed contract because of changes in the pact's language made by Gannett. wxxinews.org/local-news/202…
A vicious indictment. Well earned by Reed.
@WillCleveland13 As I've said before, Mike Reed's obituary, should someone find him deserving of one, will highlight his destruction of community journalism. It's a legacy he and his minions appear unwilling to shake.
Having the @rocnewsguild back in the newsroom is good for the community, but it is critical that the community continues to show its support until a fair settlement is finalized.
Back to work today, as are my colleagues (many of whom I now know better because of strike). Working on multiple stories then a talk to a UR writing class tonight. So, maybe work will tamp down the anger. We'll see. However ... (1/4)
We were on strike. Happy to be back at work. Unhappy still no fair resolution for all @rocnewsguild @SecVAthletics @sectionvflagfb @baseballsectv @nyguild @SecVTrackField @ReporterRitz
We’ve seen incompetence weaponized to exploit our compassion. Their lawyer tried to play like tracking doc changes was too much for his eyes. Then he slid in multiple regressive terms and told us he wouldn’t review the new proposal with us. You’re disgusting, @Gannett.

Day 17: D&C journalists will be picketing again today at Clinton & Main streets in #ROC. It’s our third week off the job & we have bargaining scheduled for the 1st time in nearly 2 weeks as we fight for a fair, equitable living wage. I’ll be out 10-1. Thanks for your support!
Worked with @s_debadrita1709 on this story about the reasons behind the dog "crisis" at the @YourSPCA and other animal shelters. Deb did a nice job with the video and @Bessex_Joshua got great photos at the SPCA in West Seneca. Story: buffalonews.com/news/local/dog…
The Buffalo Newspaper Guild joined with many other journalism and industry advocates to lobby for this. We would like to thank everyone involved for getting behind this first-of-its-kind legislation, designed to protect local journalism and local journalists.
