Let me tell you a bit about myself. I’ve lived in Western New York all my life except for four years of active duty in the U.S. Navy toward the end of the Viet Nam War. I served at Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Navy Support Activity LaMaddalena, and Subase New London followed by nearly a decade in both the Navy and Army reserves. I’m a retired UB professor and I’ve lived throughout Western New York including Batavia, Amherst, Williamsville, and East Aurora.
Over the years, I’ve seen numerous political fiascos in Western New York. For example, the proposed but never built Peace Bridge span; ending tolls on the NYS Thruway; and, financial debacles that led (and may soon lead again) to the Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority and the Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority. And on and on.
Leadership matters. Competence is more important than appearance. Elections have consequences.
