According to the infamous groundhog, we are looking at six weeks of winter. Which means six more weeks of snow, ice and wintry mix that wreaks havoc on our roadways. This winter we have seen two extremes on our major thoroughfares: a monster storm in November that stranded motorists on the Thruway for more than a day and a minor snowfall in early January that closed much of the Thruway for 36 hours.

The Erie County Legislature held its annual reorganizational meeting on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015 and elected Legislator John Mills to his second term as Chairman. He was appointed unanimously (11-0) to the one-year term.
In the beginning on 2014 I was elected by my colleagues in the Legislature to serve as the first Republican Chairman in 37 years. It was one of the highest honors I have received during my tenure as a public official, and it has been a privilege to serve in the capacity. As we enter the New Year I have reflected on 2014 and I am very proud of the accomplishments the Legislature recorded and optimistic that 2015 will see continued success.
