Can anyone tell me (in general) what's going on politically in NF. I've been gone a long time and I miss the melodrama!

If it's melodrama you are looking for, we have more than enough to go around. I don't think there has been much posted about NF politics here. Just a bit about the casino money is all I can remember. Why don't you ask some questions saidgoodbye and maybe someone can bring you up to speed.

First of all, SaidGoodbye, I've noticed you lurking for some time. Thanks for joining the fold.

Shughes is right, not much going on HERE as far as Niagara Falls goes, but the Cataract City is a political fiasco (what else is new). Your best bet to keep up are the Niagara Gazette and the Niagara Falls Reporter. I'll sum up what I can. The mayor's in hot water, the library has no money, and the council has no ... um ... fortitude. Oh, and taxes are probably going up. (just guessing on that last one).

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't say that I was "lurking". I actually found this forum by accident and was enjoying reading the posts. I actually recognize some of the players even though I've been gone a while. It's reassuring to know that some things never change!

I lurk

Lurking is not bad. Most forums such as this one suggest that you lurk before posting ... in order to get a feel for things. Lurk away.
