Political Quotes

“Western New York is experiencing a resurgence that was unimaginable 10 years ago. We have reclaimed our waterfront, generated thousands of jobs in the life sciences, and will soon be the largest supplier of solar panels in the Western Hemisphere. But still there is much work to be done. The Buffalo-Exchange Street Amtrak station is, in terms of function and aesthetics, the worst in the State and among the worst in the entire Nation. It is currently closed because the ceiling collapsed. This is a station that is not in keeping with a city that is on the rise. Yesterday, I asked the New York State Department of Transportation to begin planning for a new station at our bustling Canalside district or our historic Central Terminal. If we act quickly to produce a plan for a new, state-of-the-art train station that is shovel-ready, we will position Buffalo to benefit from a much-needed investment in infrastructure throughout the Nation. ____________________”
