BUFFALO, N.Y. — While there are nearly a dozen student resource officers that make the rounds to various Buffalo Schools on any given day, there's no signed agreement in place between the department and school district. As recently as December 2024, the Buffalo School Board passed a resolution calling on the district and police department to move forward with an agreement, but no such agreement actually exists.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon — along with City Comptroller Barbara Miller-Williams and Council Members Bryan Bollman and Leah Halton-Pope — are voicing opposition to a plan by State Senator Sean Ryan to address the city's finances. Last Sunday, Senator Ryan announced legislation that will allow the Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority to issue Deficit Financing Bonds worth more than $70 million. Ryan said that this will allow the city to address the budget gap.

Governor Hochul has taken the stage for a major East Side funding announcement at the Pratt Willert Community Center. She did not have entrance music upon her arrival. It’s as if no one knows the importance of WWE-style entrance music in state government. @wgrz https://t.co/rlowbt9Ptf
