BIG PLANS FOR TONAWANDA ENGINE PLANT
General Motors announcing this morning they
will pour another $400-million into the Tonawanda
Engine Plant to produce a new V-8 engine. The
company says it's estimated it will create or maintain
700 jobs. It's the second major investment announced

Ecotec engine there. The Erie County IDA has o-k'd
tax breaks for both projects. A source said the plant
might also be tapped to produce a new V-6 engine in
the future.

THE LARGEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM ONE CITY TO ANOTHER
Carl Paladino accused the President Monday of
trying to move the Nation's financial capitol from
New York to Chicago under the guise of financial
services reform. The Republican gubernatorial
hopeful saying most of the transactions the Obama
Administration proposed to regulate last week are
currently processed through New York based banks
or financial firms with significant trading operations
in New York City. Paladino said under Obama's
financial services reform the business would be
forever moved from New York to Chicago, but he
said what's worse is that our two Senators, Schumer
and Gillibrand, are standing silently by and selling
the City and our State down the drain. He said New
York would lose billions in tax revenue...that Obama
and his Chicaho buddies are engineering the largest
transfer of wealth from one city to another in world
history.

NFTA
The NFTA will hold two public hearings in the
Falls a month from today to tell the public about
plans to simplify their fare structure and make
service adjustments. One of the most significant
recommendations being considered is a proposal
to charge passengers a one way bus fare of $1.75
starting September 1 regardless of the length of
their trip. Acting Chair Henry Sloma said it
would make it an easier system to use if they
eliminated zone charges and transfer fees. The
changes were recommended in a draft report
prepared by consultants from Transportation
Management and Design. They also offered
some thoughts about future high level
transit investment corridors. The public hearings
will be held at 2pm and 6pm May 27 at the Portage
Road Transit Center. Six others will be held in
Erie County. The study can be seen at their website,
www.nfta.com/metro.
