Does anyone else think that our new mayor will get anything more accomplished than Masiello did?
Not me. I still don't know what Byron Brown is about, and that's after much scrutiny these last 6 months. He can't really claim to be inspiring or have vision. He's been dulled in the NYS Senate. As far as I can see he's just part of the Democratic machine.
I'd meant to volunteer for Kevin Gaughn. I thought he was great. But I was working two jobs and just never made the time. So, it is my fault we don't have a better Mayor! If only I'd tried harder. OK, well, it's hard to put a dent in that kind of majority. What was it? Brown 66% and Gaughn 33%? In the general I ended up voting Republican.

It is a shame that Gaughn, a very qualified canidate who can claim to 'be inspiring or have vision'. While Byron is as exciting a politician as a bowl of oatmeal I can't stick up for Helfer either.. which did not stop me from voting for him.
God, where do these seedy buffalo politicians come from? And who forgot to flush that place while they were still spawning! gha!

I completely agree with you Jim - I share your pessimism. Byron Brown was part of the problem in Albany, and now we are stuck with him.
Don't blame yourself - blame the apathy that Buffalo voters are famous for. Glad to see you voted for Helfer :)

Kuni's is gone, and Lé Metro is for sale, so it too will be gone or changed.
There might be a new sushi place opening up though, just a block or two away. So that's at least something.
