I’ve been working on a bigger project tied to this - more on that soon. But for now, here’s a question the media didn’t bother to ask today: In over 60 combined years in office, what have Senator Chuck Schumer and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz actually done to make Western New York a place people want to visit? Why should anyone come here? Just look around: – The U.S. side of Niagara Falls? Embarrassing. – The first exit off the Peace Bridge? Depressing. – Stolen car in Buffalo? Good luck. – Sidewalks? Crumbling. – Streets? Filthy. And the real question: How long has it been this way? It’s time we stop letting career politicians skate by with photo-ops and finger-pointing while our region deteriorates. Take Hutchinson Memorial Chapel. One of the first things you see coming over the Peace Bridge—boarded up since 2009. New York State took ownership in 2013 for Peace Bridge redevelopment. I filmed this two weeks ago. Twelve years later—still boarded up. Still forgotten. But this is Orange Man's fault! WGRZ The Buffalo News News 4 Buffalo 7 News WKBW WBEN NewsRadio 930AM, maybe you can ask?
