Rust belt cities like Buffalo and Detroit have been hit hardest by the economic realities of the 21st century. It's times like this when strong leadership is of the utmost importance. Remember, a few months ago when South Buffalo was the only part of the city left out of block grant allocation?
The Ninja calls the current strategy to change South Buffalo the Let's Transform Seneca St. into Grant Street Project. We're currently being led by an empty suit mayor, more than happy to preserve the status quo in city hall. So, who are the South Buffalo residents supporting Mayor Brown? I checked out the Board of Elections website to find out how much some of your neighbors have spent to help sell the rest of us out. I've included major donors from 2007 to the present, their street addresses, and the total amount of bribes they've given to the mayor. These are the people directly contributing to the demise of our neighborhood, all in an effort to further their own careers. These are people you just can't trust...
Friends of Tim Kennedy $3,175.00 (So, if you've ever supported Kennedy, you are actually supporting Byron Brown).
Friends of Tim Whalen $240.00 -(Not enough "friends" to keep his Legislative seat, however).
Goin' South $1,400.00- (Ray McGurn likes to say they are a "nonpolitical" civic group. Like everything else coming out of Ray's mouth, this is clearly a lie.)
Higgins for Congress-$2,250.00
Vincent Barrile- 20 McKinley Pkwy. $2,175.00

Mary Comerford-114 Whitehall $530.00
Jim Comerford- 435 Eden St. $625.00 (Actually lives in East Aurora. This is the fake address he uses so people don't know he is a residency violator. It doesn't work, though).
Jeff Conrad- 30 Densmore St. $665.00 (Still thinks he's going to get endorsed for a future office. Save your money, Jeff.)
Joseph Coughlin -89 Edgewood Ave. $500.00 (Will never be mistaken for a Rhode Scholar).
Dennis Dargavel- 1110 Abbott Rd. $550.00 With that goofy-ass mustache, looks like Rollie Fingers or Fred Goldman from the O.J. trial.

Randall Kay-6 McKinley Pkwy. $850.00
Jim Keane-Florida resident (keeps address at 151 Whitfield) $1,250.00 (There's your friend, Mickey. You can start taking the daggers out of your back.)
Margaret Keane-same address $1,100.00 (The Keane's 40 year scam on South Buffalo residents continues.)
Sean Keane-171 Harding $1,700.00 (Guess who's changing the garbage cans in city hall? Here's a hint: His father paid $1,700 for him to "apply" for the position).
Richard Keane, Jr.- 234 Potters Rd. $2,010.00 (I like Richard Keane , Jr. and feel bad including him. He's a good man. I can't blame him for accepting an $80,000/yr job with the Thruway Authority. I would too, if I was in his shoes.)
