I recently spoke to Great Lakes Now on how Buffalo can prepare for a future increase of climate migrants, and how we must invest in our school systems to ensure that we can manage the needs of a larger bi-lingual student population.

Why disrupt the ability to hire staff by the start of school in mid-August and create chaos for working parents who depend on these programs? How does this make America great?

How does cutting youth summer programs, support for students learning English, and teacher training reduce the deficit? How will Republicans explain to lower-income families and those in rural districts where fewer support structures exist, why there are no afterschool programs to send their kids?

The current federal spending plan moving through Congress is expected to add more than $3 trillion to the federal debt by 2034, and the GOP’s answer is to cut afterschool programs for children?

Once finalized, this plan will set the foundations for the future of the Grant neighborhood, for its infrastructure design as well as its economic growth, and it’s vital that stakeholders and community members are involved in that process.

It was inevitable that my first post on Bluesky was going to be about community engagement 😁 Last night, the City of Buffalo’s Office of Strategic Planning presented their Grant St. Streetscape Improvement Plan at a public meeting held at M&T Bank on Grant.
