By and large, the people of Erie County are happy with the state of affairs.  I can only hope that the local economy takes a major turn for the worse.  Maybe then we can get some fresh blood in the Erie County Legislature instead of the same old crowd headed by Marinelli.

Chris Collins overwhelming victory is only a token cry for change from the voters.  If they really wanted change, it would have occurred in the legislature as well.

Len Lenihan’s suggestion that Collins won because of a Republican conspiracy to keep the city vote down is ludicrous.  If anything, it shows that the people who didn’t vote don’t believe Collins will affect them detrimentally.  Keane lost because he is Keane.  Enough said.

A bit of sanity prevailed in Amherst with the defeat of all three propositions on the ballot.
