Downsizing on the Move in WNY

Downsizing of local government is the hot topic across Western New York. In Amherst, a proposal to reduce the size of the Town Board was defeated 7 to 5. In the Village of Lancaster, a similar measure passed the Board of Trustees. Lancaster Mayor Mark Cansdale says the process is moving along. Kevin Gaughan, whose work has inspired the efforts of several local governments, spoke with Donahue and Moore this morning on WECK. Meanwhile, Sabres Owner Tom Golisano appeared in West Seneca today. His new political action committee is supporting a measure to downsize the town board there from five members to three.
