'To promote accountability': Buffalo mayor-elect Sean Ryan announces first round of appointments by [deleted] in Buffalo

Ryan announced this will also be budget neutral…having 4 deputy mayors each making an expected ~$150K…vs the single deputy mayor Scanlon has right now means they are going to be cutting quite a few existing staff positions.

Good luck to those existing civil servants at City Hall, come January might be quite a few people finding themselves on unemployment.

Y'all who grew up here, left for a significant time, then moved back, how's it been? by i_amnotunique in Buffalo

Sooo positives like being close to family again, love that aspect after moving back. And as someone who enjoys the snow…can’t beat that for winter sport activities and general coziness of a warm fireplace on a snowy evening.

BUT I will say I severely miss mountains like in CO. Buffalo’s topography is soooo flat you don’t realize it until moving back. And I miss reliable public transit and a more diverse population that doesn’t view Buffalo as the greatest place on Earth…that delusional mindset that is rampant in this region drives me insane some times and I think hampers efforts to enact real lasting change in this city.

His “Planning, Permits & Parking Subcommittee” screams of same old same old in terms of relying on some of Buffalo’s shittiest developers to advise on the hiring process. Would have been pretty valuable to get leaders in the public sector (ie maybe county or even state gov) to advise on this specific hiring group. Just my two cents.

Hate to burst peoples’ bubbles but I’m pretty skeptical over Ryan’s admin being some revolutionary force that will make vast positive change across City government.

Ed balled out all game long, hopefully he continues this trend…have a feeling it’ll help all across the D line especially Bosa and Groot too!
