  • Libraries and parks
  • City facilities

This comes at a time when Buffalo, overall, is in the red, and overtime pay is over-budget. The City of Buffalo is short at least $50 million.

“We have to operate day to day and provide services and to keep the city moving, even through turbulent fiscal times,” said Common Councilman Mitch Nowakowski.
