The Erie County Legislature voted unanimously in support of Legislator Greene’s resolution directing the County Executive, Pegula Sports and Entertainment, and New York State to release their study regarding a potential new stadium.

However, when discussing an amendment to the resolution, Democrats in the Legislature voted against an additional clause that would require representatives from each legislative caucus be present during negotiations. Legislator Greene voted in support of the measure to have legislative representatives present during meetings between the County and Pegula Sports Entertainment.

Legislator Greene said, “This is a project that will have a huge economic impact on Erie County and those documents shouldn’t be kept from the public. I am glad we voted in support of this resolution today and would like to see more transparency in this process moving forward."
